Flag companies use a rope with a Kevlar core and a nylon out side. Seams to
be the best.

Flag companies use a steel core rope as well with a nylon rope jacket but
it rusts breaks apart and the nylon rope breaks apart with it.

Nylon lasts a Long time but it stretches like a rubber band.

Polypropylene even the black  UV carbon type thats sun resistance has that
10 year life span sun just east it up. You can get a mixed Polypropylene nylon
combination from Netting stores that sell commercial fishing net equipment,
but even that the sun eats it up.
