I use 100Kg (220lb) test woven Dacron fishing line.  It can be bought in 1000 foot spools at fishing tackle shops and comes in several colors.  It holds up very well to UV, remains flexible, stretches very little and is easily knotted.  I use it to guy lightweight verticals and to support the ends of dipoles etc.  I think I paid about $40.00 for a thousand foot spool a year or so ago.
