My perspective is the jigs are usually very light so harder to cast with a conventional reel... I also like to put my pointer finger under the line to feel the bite... I can do this with one hand with a spinner, with conventionals you need 2 hands to do this...
One other important thing to remember if you choose to go with a spinner. Most come with a short fore-grip, you want a long for-grip. This really comes in handy when you want to lift the rod to put extra pressure on a fish that is digging to take you back into the rocks....You lift the rod with one hand and reel with the other.... This is a lot easier to do with a longer fore-grip.
