Hi Jake, I think a Tor14 will suit you just fine. Small and lite. The Teks I feel are fine for rockfishing but for throwing iron I would prefere a non levelwind. I have seen guys casting the Tek and it comes nowhere near as far as other non levelwind reels. I have the Tor14 And have used it once for SWRF. If your interested I'm willing to let it go. I have other freshwater needs that's the only reason I'm willing to let it go. The Tor16 is also a great option. I only mentiond the Tor14 because you are using braid, so you'll have plenty of line capacity.
