I use Fireline 20# for all instances of fishing. I have 8 Shimano 6500's and 3 4500's spooled with it, most of my other reels are mono, wire and leadline.
I use Fireline for 2 years max because of the rock rubs and normal wear and tear, after the 1st year I completely empty one reel of line and put one of my reels with the year old line in my workshop vise and feed the line from that reel to the bare one so the line is actually back- spooled.
This way I rid myself of the wear and tear on the 1 year old line by using it as a backing and what was the original backing is now the leading line, nice and fresh. I repeat this for all the braided reels, never had a problem with braid for holding up.
You may want to use a little tape on your finger for casting as Fireline is great for those surgical cuts they sometimes leave when its wet. Fireline is definately better than Spiderwire, nice tip too about soaking it in hot water to soften it up.
Tight lines to you.
