That should open the floodgates............

Hope this is ok to post here but seemed logical.
I am having a Cane rod built - Payne 100 7-1/2" 4wt
I am looking for a classic reel for it and am looking at some used J.W. Young
Beaudex (preferred) Condex or Pridex mainly because I am cheap and I also like the looks.
(I have an old Ambidex spinning reel handed down from my father)

The question, aside from some concern over the reel foot fitting the reel seat, is there a clear winner among these reels for the application? (small to med. trout streams).
I don't see much difference between the reels aside from left/right hand conversion abilities and possibly weight.
What would be your choice for a cane rod?
Thanks in advance
