Question Braid for VS?

An opinions on what the best braid if for use on a VS200? Trying to decide between 30lb Fireline and 50lb Powerpro. I tried using the search feature and couldn't find much help there. Just looking for some advise that may minimize my frustrations if I try the wrong one first. Thanks. By the way, I fish mostly rocky areas if that helps.

I'd go fireline over powerpro, although I'm switching from fireline to mono this year...

I've fished both on my 200; the 50# Power Pro casts a little further but the 30# Fireline might be stronger.

Both will serve you well, just keep and eye on them when the line is new, that's when it might cough up a birdsnest.

Both braids work a lot better after you break them in a bit.
