Abu reels are good in those package deals and last well. Not as well balanced as shimano but they last longer. I would go with an 8lb / 3.7 kg 'Dragon' Invisiline to spool it. Very strong and abrasion resistant and great strength for diameter and will give you two years. Also cheaper than most others. Maxima is good but thick so reduces cast length. Suffix is a disaster and looses strength very quickly as do many other american lines.
