New Reel Help

My Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I am looking to get a new Fixed Spool Reel as I am going onto Braided line for the first time (I was told that braid would be better)

Can anyone offer some advice on the pro's and cons of the different drags (FD or RD)?

My budget is gonna be about £80, but could probably push to £100...any ideas.

Cheers

Rear drag is usually on smaller reels.
On beachcasting fixed spools you need to be able to lock up the drag when casting do the spool doesn't slip. This is why you need front drag.
