The Hewes or Kinderman reels are the best. The cheap reels have burrs all over which bind the film. I started with cheep reels and almost gave up photography. Once I bought good reels all was eden, never a problem, even after I dropped one. I would advise against plastic reels, they may be easier in the beginning, but stainless reels are easier, faster, and more reliable in the long run.

As I recall Jobo made very good plastic tanks.
