For my 3/8-in. Dacron rope halyards I use marine/sailboat pulleys. 
They're all stainless steel, with ball bearings.  Mine have been up 
for a few years; they still work fine and have never fouled.  Get the 
right size pulley for your line.

If you live near the coast, try a local marine supply store.  Or look 
at the websites of big marine supply houses such as E & B.
