Wouldn't bother with the TLD
Wouldn't bother with the TLD as an allrounder, too big and bulky and the little handle sucks. Haven't used the Torium but they look a lot more suited to mixed styles of fishing.
Another option worth considering is the old style of Saltists (new might be fine too but I haven't used them). I've used my 30 and 50 jigging, bottom bouncing and trolling and they have done the job well. They're very tough reels.

+1 for the Marquesa.. Use
+1 for the Marquesa.. Use mine for everything & it has never skipped a beat. Smooth, strong and find the fast retrieve pretty handy for jigging deepish.

Got the Marquesa 12 a few weeks ago for trolling/girlfriends bottom bouncing set up.
If you're keen on one best price I found locally was Getaway Outdoors in Osborne Park.
