I've had an Okuma Sierra. I wouldn't get another one, I've had mine seize up on me a few times on big fish when I really needed it and couple occasions. Most of the time it worked fine but the few occasions when it didn't were enough to have me looking for yet another reel.
If I had to work with a really cheap reel, I'd probably take a Scientific Anglers Concept 2. On the other hand, the Okuma Integrity might be another story altogether.
