A light 200 series, so you have enough line capacity, but it's not an anchor.
Lew's BB2 is on sale at TW:

All they have left are left handed reels, but you can see the specs, and can find a righty online somewhere if that's what you need.

Yeah those aren't big lures so a 200 size reel would do the job. Zillion HD would be a good option because of its 100mm handle size

I use Shimano Curado's for swimbaits. The 200 & 300 series are very good. Smooth as silk, castes well and has pretty good stopping power. Practically maintenance free, just rinse and add a drop of oil to a few key locations.
YMMV
go gettum!

A Curado would be fine for those.

+1 on 200 series curados. Had a scorpion version that handled baits well in the categories you stated.
