I don’t think you can go wrong with what Ky221 recommended. I caught a lot of fish using Trilene XL and was satisfied with it. By chance, I realized how much easier braid cuts through the cabbage and other vegetation. The Trilene wouldn’t cut it and the vegetation just kind of clumped up on the line, and I’d end up pulling it out of the rod tip. I’ve had pike tangled up in the weeds too. The braid cleanly slices through everything. It will cut you too! For that reason alone, I switched to it. The lack of stretch and added strength are a bonus to me. I like the fact that braid doesn’t have a memory too.
