As far as spinning reels go use the Shimano stradic or symmetre in the 2000 size. One of the best lines for spinning reels is Magnathin by stren. Use that in 10 in summer and 12 in winter for mainline. But for leader always use 8lb Maxima Ultragreen. The reels range from $75 for the symmetre and about $129 for the stradic. If you really want to step up to the plate, the best I've ever used is the Shimano Sustain.
