    Well you didnt give us enough information to really help you. I am assuming you will be fishing only in PA with it, so get whatever one looks the coolest. There are zero sitchyations in PA steelheading for justification of a pin on PA ditches. Now if you are going to fish big water in other states yu should get the most expensive one out there. It doesnt matter if it is any good it only matters how others look upon you.

    Quality over quantity

    I have never fished any of those reels. I have played around with the islander and they are nice reels but a bit on the heavy side for me. I fished a kingpin a couple times they're nice reels just not my taste. I have no idea about the spahr. So if it was up to me I would take the islander I've only heard good things about them.
