Default Drags

I have been doing alot of thinking about the quality of drags on my reels after my Rick Clunn reels drag system totally shat out on me. After looking back at the components for the reel compared to others though, its no wonder. My question is how closely do you factor in the drag power before purchasing a reel. I used to glance at it but not really let it matter to me that much.
However I find that some of my reels I can't fish in certain techniques because they just doesn't give me a tight enough drag for how i like to fish.
For example I want almost zero drag for the reel attatched to my flipping stick because I want a super solid hook set and to get that fish in the boat with out letting it get its head down into brush/laydown/weeds etc. However I only have a few reels that have that strong of a drag.
Because of this i tend to put my revo sx on my flippin stick because it has 24lbs of drag power as opposed to only 14 on my johnny morris elite series, 10lbs on the rick clunn, and 11 on my curado 200e7.
Do any of you guys find yourself having to plan which reels to put on what because of drag power?
