Vendetta vs. Tourney Trail im8

Which rod is better, i plan on getting a 7'0 MH?

Very hard to answer that.  To me, a rod is very subjective.  Weight and balance differ by rod and angler.  My advice would be to settle on the reel you are going to use first.  Then take that reel to the store and try it on the two rods.  Some rods and reels just don't work with each other.  Sorry this doesn't really answer the question.

i will be pairing it with a Shimano Curado or a Daiwa Tatula Type R.

Vendetta out of those two. I'd save some money and buy an Ethos from Academy instead. Probably still find some on sale still anywhere from $60 to $25.

Anyone willing to grab me one of those ethos in heavy action? I don't have an Academy near me. 

If you are going to put a Curado on it I would try to step up from Vendetta.  That is a great reel but I personally found the vendetta awkward.  I put mine on the saltwater boat. Tackle Warehouse has Shimano compre on sale for $69. IM8/IM9 blanks (last year's Crucial blanks I believe).

There was several of the 7' 3" H/F micro guide Ethos last time I was at Academy but I can't remember which one. You should be able to call the stores and get them delivered to you. They were $60 I believe. 

I will try TY
