"Hardwear" is just differently badged TFG gear. Must admit there isnt a lot to choose between rods in that price range so either should be fine.If pushed I wou;ld say Daiwa as in general Ive found their build quality a bit better than TFG's.

Ive not actually used either rod but have seen both.I would be quite happy using either.

 

As for a reel.Well I have never believed in such a thing as a "good" cheap reel! Much better to get a good quality second hand one in my opinion. Take a look on Ebay for a Shimano reel of the correct size.Don't need a baitrunner so you should be able to get one for around £20. Even cheaper (and will last forever) there are always plenty of Mitchell 300's on there.
