The Penns will work fine and they're easy to maintain. I had a Penn 65 Long Beach for years and caught lots of big fish with it. I still use my Penn 500 and 505 Jigmasters on the yak. That said, new reels do work a lot better - more power, better drags, tighter tolerances in a smaller & lighter package.
Don't know much about the Ocean City reels except they've been out of production for a loooong time. Like Penns, they're probably easy to maintain, but good luck finding parts!
