I anguished over the same thing last month. It was between Big Game, Backcountry, and the varios Sufix monos. It doesn't help that all of the Sufix mono lines are basically described the same on their web site, the only difference being "abraision resistant", "soft", and "manageable" (or something like that) are used in different order to describe the different types.

In the end I went with Big Game 20, mostly because I was making a Cabelas order and they didn't have BC.

Before that I used 30# Magna Thin, which I was happy with. The only reason I didn't get it again is Cabelas didn't have the big spool.

Overall I'm pretty disgusted by the way line is marketed. Just tell me the actual breaking strength, diameter, material, stiffness, and abraision resistance in some kind of objective way. There are well-defined ways to test all of these. Instead they market new colors and ficticious/ambiguous properties.
