I like to use tarred nylon trot line. It is rated at 440 lbs and is
resistant to UV. Academy has it in 351 foot rolls for a few bucks. See in
photo on my web site.

I've used carpenter's line (the colored stuff) that you can get at Lowe's or
Home Depot. As I recall you get 500 some feet for a few bucks. It's gets a
little stiff in 4-5 years but none of it has broken yet. I use it to
support the ends of wire antennas.
