I never needed a deep spool in freshwater reels, and can't imagine needing it in any reel in 1000 size. As for the gear, it depends on what you plan to use it for. I can see advantages of lower gear with slow presentations, though I haven't found much of a difference myself. In this case it will be about 10 cm difference in hoisting length per handle revolution.
I assume the 6.0 gear version with deep spool is USDM and the 5.1 gear version with shallow spool is JDM. The latter won't have any warranty, that's something to consider. You can of course always fill the deep spool with backing, just not my preference.
Stradic FL is an excellent reel for about $170.
