I vote for the zebco33 too.

I had a 33 for over 10 years casted great then the gears stripped. I
tried the $50 Goldcast80 and Omega. Didnt like either. Why?- use of #8
Stren SuperBraid, well lack of use, the line wouldnt work in them. I
tried the GC80 for 3 days trying to get it to not bind up on the spool
rewind after rewind after rewind. I switched to Trilene XL #8 still
didnt seem to well. Not as good as the 33 it replaced. Returned it
bought the Omega well I had about the same results with the SuperBraid
/Omega as the GC80. I reutrned that one too.
I bought the $15 Zebco33 spooled it up with the SupeBraid and it
casts great. Im set for another 10+ years as far as my spincaster reel
goes.
Now the Zebo33 I believe has a new design that resembles Omega so cant
comment on the "new" one but you can still get the "Classic" 33.
