The Suffix is rated at 50lbs, the Fireline at 30lbs - Suffix is, by definition, stronger. It can take more than a third more force before breaking, if by break, you mean pull on it in a straight line until it snaps.

Now, if by break you mean fraying by rubbing up against some rocks or pilings, the Fireline, a fused braid, will last a little longer than Suffix the pure braid, but neither will last as long as Flouro or Mono.

All things being equal in terms of the diameter of the line, you can spool an equal amount of 50lb-test Suffix, 30lb-test Fireline, 15lb-test flouro or 10lb-test mono. (Give or take, depending on the brand of mono and flouro, some are stronger than others).
