I have some Nikkor reels that are nice.  I think if you get good reels and 
take care of them, they will all work fine.  120 is tricky to load in the 
clip without damaging the film, but it's a breeze when you do it enough 
times.  

I have a few Nikkor reels that seem to be made of a heavier gauge wire and 
work great.  Of course bent new or used ones are worthless no matter the 
brand and I have seen new ones that are bent right out of the box.
