Shimano Speed Master 12-20
Abu Suveran 12-20
Penn Tidecutter 12-20

All good choices...

The abu suveran is a very nice rod, its quite dear but worth it. I picked one up at Christmas but haven't used it yet but by the feel of it it will be ideal for light mixed fishing or fishing jellies.

You could consider using an Uptider for your Gilling/Shadding. That extra bit of length can be handy for avoiding other angler's lines if you're stuck for a bit of elbow room on a Charter.

Just a thought to confuse you more! :P

team daiwa xb 12 / 30 another option, pretty pricey though

The Conoflex "Pollack" rod is hard to beat

Just been playing with the Greys Longboat 15-20lb
This has to be the ultimate shadding rod
