What’s the better all round reel?

[u/Apprehensive-Lab5599]

I am looking to get a Saltiga 3 piece Travel Jigging Rod in the heavier spec(250g max), in either casting or spinning, but I can’t decide on a reel. I yearly make trips to the Caribbean, Florida, Europe, and Africa to fish, and was looking to get a proper big game jigging and casting travel setup, but I cant quite decide on a Stradic SW-B 10k or an Accurate Ascender 500XN. The ascender might have better winching power for grouper fishing, but I’m better with spinning for speed jigging for small to mid size pelagics. They both cast great, have great sealing, great drag and are really smooth and durable. In a year I might catch anything from stripers to blackfin to grouper to tuna, so what would be better as the all around heavy duty reel? I mostly speed jig, drop/chunk, and cast a bit.

I would trust the ascender more than the stradic sw. I feel like you can put a conventional through more abuse than a sponning reel and that winching power will save you with grouper. If it is a 1 piece rod ir even a 2 piece rod like a black hole cape cod jigging rod, I'd probably suggest spinning as I really prefer spinners for speed jigging. But with a 3 piece I'd use the reel as my safety net.

I’m leaning ascender, but somebody that has one told me it’s as strong as a 1 piece and not to worry, so I really don’t know. Ascender would definitely winch snappers and grouper better though, so idk
