I'm currently using Halo but may go back to my old mono fishing line.

Halo for me - from the way it looks after a year, it will probably outlast the string.

Depends on how many stands,I've used Halo .024,62XS .021,Diamondback .030,1D .019 for my endless loop HMPE low stretch ends,#4 nylon for my dacron endless.Which ever one I use I like to end up with a finished diameter of .105 to .110,fits my nocks.

I just bought a spool of Crown. Really pricy stuff,but has a real slick finish. It should give a really nice release. We'll see.....

Mono for me. Easy to change diameters when you are building different strings, or if you want to tighten or losen your nocks

Leon Stewart uses a transparent material that does not seem to wear...I'm wondering if it indeed some sort of fishing line?

8 strands of D-97 and double serve with #4 nylon. Just works well, lots of colors to pick from, and cheap.
