I've got an Avenger and it's been a great reel. But I really like the Daiwa RegalPlus BRI a little better and it's only a few dollars more. But you won't go wrong with the Avenger.

iv used all those reels except the penn, the others are are good reels, the salt striker is a beefed up okuma with a lifetime warrinty from cabelas, the afb avengers are good but have a habbit of the bait runner not engaging at certin spots, the expixor is a better reel than the avenger. the penn im sure is as good if not better.

I had the salt striker and it is a good reel but it is prone to the baitfeeder not engaging occasionally. I second Ben and think the Daiwa regal plus is the better reel
Bowfishing sucks

I really like my Shimano Baitrunners. Haven't had any problems with them.

do you have a pic of them on a carp rod so I can tell how big the pit actually is. Looks like it holds a lot of line

You really need to throw a Shimano option into the mix. The 3500B would make your Predator ROCK!
