In that price range you have many options. First though you need to decide if you want a Large Arbor, Mid Arbor or standard reel. For all around use and a great high quality reel for $120-$130 bucks the Battenkill Mid Arbor will be very hard to beat and it has a Warranty agains just about anything. Very strong, nice and high quality. You could spend more but i don't think your getting any more reel untill you start looking in the $250+ range. I personally love the battenkill Large Arbor reel but that's my pref! I also have a Battenkill Bar Stock and it's great too. There are many good reels for that price though. Redington, Ross, Sith, Orvis, Cortland and so forth. I have owned a bunch of reeks and swear by the Battenkills... Lots of Bang for the Buck I say!
