UHMWPE: Top choice for ultimate strength, weightlessness, and abrasion resistance, but pricier and UV-sensitive. Use it for critical tasks where performance matters most.

Kevlar: Specialized for cut resistance and high temperatures, not your everyday marine rope.

Nylon: Versatile option for everyday needs, offering good strength, affordability, and ease of use. Consider the stretch factor.

Polyester: The economical choice for general use, strong and durable but heavier and not stretchier than nylon.

Steel Wire Rope: For heavy-duty jobs where strength and rigidity are paramount, but be prepared for its weight and maintenance needs.
