Ive never fished with a Airflo line so I cant say much I do like Rio Gold due to it be heavily front weighted
I fished a Echo Carbon for a few years its a great rod but it seemed a bit stiff and a bit lackluster I want to say it took more work to present dries. If remember correctly my arm was fire at the end of the day, but I will say I do cast fast and well as DrewT mentioned regardless of the brand you probably want to cast a few rods to match your casting style. Id highly recommend it if your big on nymphing \ bottom bouncing. But in that price point 150 to 200 there better options.
I would suggest testing out a Redington Voyant,or even the older Redington CPX,both around 150 Id like also mention TFO pro or even a older Ticr but they dont give you a rod tube anymore ...
