The plastic reels are OK, and I still use 'em, but less and less. I've had one or two break - don't know if the Paterson reels are any stronger - and the stainless can be loaded wet. Plus, stainless may be more easily cleaned - they'll take a good soak in boiling water. I don't know how well plastic reels will hold up to that, but I don't really know if that's necessary, either. A test may be in order.
