as long as your bow can handle it, use any modern hmpe fiber, most are around the 100# tensile strength mark. plenty of fibers and brands to choose!
fwiw, i use the hmpe strand fiber for padding, but i only use nylon for endless loop serving and bcy halo for center serving.

8125 is my first choice. Materials with a good big of Vectran in them are popular for a lack of stretch, but they also often lack durability over the long haul--that's why you don't see any string materials that are pure Vectran.
