You can't go wrong with either. I'd probably go with the Pflueger just for the cost. It's more comparable with the Curado BSF than the standard Curado so when you compare pricing, it's $50 less. I bought my Curados before Pflueger released a left hand version of the Trion but if I had to buy a new reel tomorrow, I'd definitely go with the Trion. The right hand model has been out for several years now so parts shouldn't be too hard to find.
