shimano vs daiwa spinning reels

I have been using three shimano sahara 1500 for crappie fishing over the last 4 years. They have held up but finally the anti reverse went out on one, another is hard to reel and after cleaning it still isnt any better. Ive been looking at the daiwa aceller. Has anyone used the daiwa acceler or would you recommend one company over another. I have also used shimano baitcaster the ( curado 100b and curado 200) before the jumped to $200 bucks. The 100b hasnt been used much at all and its also really hard to reel. I take good care of my reels, im getting frustrated with shimano. I dont want to pay over 80 for my crappie spinning reels. Any advise. I plan to purchase and abu revo for my next baitcaster. Any comment would greatly be appriciated. Thanks.
