Tyler - Here's a pretty cost consious option for you - from TCO Fly Shop (FAOL sponsor of course!). Orvis Battenkill Mid arbor IV $129, Orvis Endura waders $129, Orvis saltwater HY-Float line $45. The reel would come with the line and free backing already installed, and this would put you right at the magic $300 dollar mark ( actually a little more if you include shipping). Just an option to consider, but you'd look spiffy as well as having good quality equipment. TCO is my local shop, and they are some really nice folks to deal with.
