People are total kooks about line. I have heard everything about almost every line. People tell me triple fish has too much memory, I think it has very little. People tell me Big Game is unbreakable, I think it breaks really easy. People tell me p-line has low memory, I think it has tons of memory. People say florocarbon is "invisible" in the water. I can see it just fine.
I use triple fish because I like it for many reasons. In MY opinion it has pretty low memory, is very strong, doesn't break easily even when frayed, fishes well wet, and casts well unless it is very hot and dry outside. I think it has a lot of stretch but I like that. I am much more of a line watcher than a rod tip watcher. So I don't care if my line stretches because I see the strike regardless of whether there is any stretch in the line. I actually would prefer some stretch so that the fish doesn't feel the rod. This does require some compenstation in the hookset if you have a lot of line out (ie reel in the slack before you set the hook) but I would rather have to deal with that, than having the line snap off for lack of stretch.
So I say, fish whatever line you like. The more "used to" your line that you get the more you will like it.
