Daiwa Powermesh 1.75lb Rod Guides

Towards the end my last trip to the Severn I noticed that I was getting a horrible grating noise through the rod rings when winding in under load.
Changed my line straight away but the same thing happened.
On my return home had a close inspection of the rod guides/rings and most of them were badly grooved on the bottom half.

So I am going to replace all the guides and am looking at which ones to use.
I don't really want to put the same make back on, ie the lightweight seaguide stainless ones but am looking for recommendations for any other makes or patterns that would be suitable, preferably ones you have used and had experience of.
Many thanks.

A good quality guide with sic or alconite inserts Will see you right. Fuji would be my first choice but they may cost you a chunk
