I can't speak for Hardy but I do have some Greys stuff.
I have a few Grey's rods: 10' 6wt XF2, and a 9' 8wt XF2 Carnivore. Both awesome rods for midrange price. I also have four Greys reels: GX700 in 4/5/6 and 6/7/8, and the GX500 in 4/5/6/ and 6/7/8. Both models are cassette type reels that have fixed the problems of earlier models ie crap drag systems and breaking cassettes trying to get them of the reel.
I like stillwaters and Hardy, and especially Greys, have alot of rods and reels that are perfect for lakes- longer rods and reels that can let you change lines very quickly. The Limeys seem to love their loch-style/stillwater fishing.
