personally I like the Penn senators 9/0 or 12/0 on a 80lb rod with roller guides. The reels are tough and you can't beat the sound they make when Mr. Hoo shows up...

Depends on what you are fishing for....

For stripers, the Penn 113 HSP is the defacto standard. Solid and indestructable.

I guess they would work for Hoo's. But I've only caught one 'Hoo, so don't take my word for it. The star drag would get awfully hot on a smoking long run. You also may need more line capacity for a bigger 'Hoo.... I think Penn makes a 114 wide that is made for wire...
