Thanks guys, I'm still deciding, a lot of good suggestions. Do you guys prefer cork or rubber handles? I'm leaning rubber which leaves some suggestions out. I had a couple of cork handle fishing rods get beat up in travels.
My wife has BD Carbon poles, but really dislikes the cork handles so I got her cushy foam handles, which she prefers. When I use my BD Carbon poles, the cork doesn't bother me. You'll likely have to sort that for yourself.
We've owned a lot of Komperdell poles over the last decade. Austrian made, and excellent. I got her something similar to these (if you're an REI member you can get another 20% off these right now):
