Default Recommendations 10 wt. Fly Reel?

I have never fished with anything in this range, but I'm looking for
recommendations on a good 10 wt. fly reel without breaking the bank. Has to
have a good drag system, and hold at least 200 yards of 30 lb. backing.

Redington makes some good, value priced reels. I own several of the GD
Series(now replaced with the CD line). They should withstand a hard run
from a King. I also have a Redington Breakwater that would be a step or
two up from the GD model. It's big, beefy, good disc drag, and plenty of
backing capacity.

Lots of new, "affordable" reels on the market right now. You'd have a
tough time narrowing the choices down to a dozen. :-)
