Suffix performance braid 30 pound test.Cast great and will tow a boat.I liked it better than power pro but its good too.
Sufix, Power Pro, or Fireline are all good. The size of the line, I feel depends on the type of fishing your doing. I don't have anything heavier than 17lb on my spinning rods. Most of my spinning rod braid fishing is with smaller jigs and jerkbaits though.
I use several sizes depending on where or what I'm fishing for. My favorite is 15/4 for all around use, and 10/2 for winter fishing FNF. Stealth is good for the price, watch for wind knots or loops when you close your bail, they can be a pain. Also fish with a looser drag, hook sets are quick, too much pressure will tear out some hooks.Been using braids since they came out, and mostly with spinning tackle.
Thanks for the replys guys. I bought a spool of Power Pro today. I'll try it tomorrow.

10lb Spiderwire Stealth. If the water is crystal clear I use a fluro leader. If not, I tie directly to the braid.
I use Tuff Line XP and have no problems. I tried Power Pro and got tired of the wind knots and tangles. Tuff Line is a better line at a better price for me. I have 30 and 40 pound spooled on my catfish/surf rods, 30 on my bass baitcaster and 10-15 on my spinning rods. I usually use a fluoro leader either a foot or two or up to 10-15 feet of mono on my catfish rods. Braid is good stuff. Instead of restringing my rods twice a year like with mono, I leave it on there until there isn't enough left on the reel to fish with.
I use power pro and p-line. If you get wind nots try a barrel swivel to reduce line twists. I use alot of diawa reels that have the twist buster in it that reduces 90% of my knots. I use this line because of my trust in it, But alot of the braids are just as good as what I use. Hope this could help alittle.
