First Baitcasting Reel

I'm new to the forum and am looking for a little advise on my first baitcasting reel. The two I'm really looking at are the Daiwa Exceler and the Lew's Speed Spool. Either one will be put on a 7' MH Dobyns Savvy rod with 12# or 15# Seaguar InvizX line. I use a left hand retrieve which makes me only able to get the Lew's in 6.4:1 gear ratio but the Daiwa comes in 7.1:1 so one question I have is does that make that much of a difference in performance? Which reel would you guys go with and why? The whole set up will be used as a somewhat do it all set up.
