I agree. I've had some up for 15 years. Only failure I've experienced was when some pesky squirrels decided that my antenna line was impinging on their
territory!!  They finally chewed thru the line--but took them 10 years.

There is no single right answer to the question.

Saw already a couple of good recommendations, but, if you only want to
support the ends of the dipole, I would go with the cheep Kevlar stuff from Radio works - about $20 for 200 ft. spool. It may also be OK for supporting the feedpoint of the dipole, if you are NOT using a pulley. It is too thin to use with most pulleys. It is more than strong enough and I have had it
up for years with no problems.
