Gene, I prefer Ande, but any of the good lines should work fine. I do
avoid the expensive lines for one simple reason, line doesn't last
forever, and the more expensive it is, the more people resist changing
it because of the cost. Even expensive line wears out, don't let a
prize fish that got away tell you it's time to change the line. Go
with a good line and change it every year or so, when it starts to
change color, fray, or tangle easily, change it.
