Just wondering what everyone opinion is on the best bang for the buck on the new Abu Garcia rev x or if the tatula is a better choice. Looking to add few.

Both are good reels. Maybe even look into the Daiwa Fuego CT. I am messing with the Revo X right now as a punching reel. So far, the feel and functions are rather nice. I know that in my head, the Fuego CT is probably a little better built than the Revo X. However, the Revo fits my hands better.

I would go with the tatula also.. I haven't handled a revo on awhile but I never could get used to them

No doubt the Tatula is a great reel. But to the folks giving the Tatula the nod over the new Revo X, have you used, or held a new Revo X yet? The Gen4 Revo's are completely different beasts than the previous generations.
In my experience, in two months of using them last fall before the water got hard here, is that the Revo has more power per say than the Tatula and just felt beefier than the Tatula. With that being said, the T-wing is still supreme when it comes to skipping, even without the SV spool. But for punching and flipping, I'll take a GEN4 Revo X, S, SX, STX, etc all day long.
Nonetheless, both reels are great reels and I don't think you'll be disappointed with either.
I took advantage of the ebay 20% off sale and got a Gen4 SX for $103 shipped to me from Sportsmans Outfitters. I cant wait to tear it down and get inside it, got some plans for it. I have to agree that the drag on the new Gen4s are pretty impressive. As long as you get Revo thats got brass gears you should be good. I really dont think its necessary to go any higher on the line than the SX as tge only feature you get beyond that is weight, and it sacrifices strength.
