I like all of my Penn reels, I have never had trouble with any of them. I make my own rods. The Battle III is a great spinning reel for the money. I don't think the is any reel on the market for the price, and I have two Shimano Stellas.
Yep, most of my reels are Penn . I use Spinfishers Vs for my surf rods and most of my bottom fishing gear are Penn. I have a Penn reel that I bought and have used consistently for 67 years. It retired now, but it still functions perfectly.
