papio is on a distinguished road
both of them will be fine for tuna with the 18000 having little more line capacity. i try to stay away from reels that's over 30oz. i've caught 70lb + tuna with Stradic 8000, so you can catch tuna on smaller reels.

i have the Penn 950ssm and caught many big fish with it. i like the HT100 drag, but the reel is simply too heavy and i don't have any use for it anymore. good luck on whatever tackle you decide on. i got 3 OTI rods including the 2-pc 7'6" 80lb, and i love them all.
