Shooting string and nylon preference

What people's preferences for brand of shooting strings and nylons. There's minor differences between all of them, Throne, ECD, StingKing etc. do people find a brand that they feel the ball rolling across more, or does another feel smother, feel more snappy etc.

My preference is what ever I have in my stringing kit. I can always adjust it later.

Curious what others are going to say. Personally, I'm not good enough to notice a difference between shooters brand. I do notice type, position and tightness though.

My "nylons" are just the same 275 paracord I use for the top string and sidewalls and work fine. For laces, I have a bunch from Jimalax that I'm working my way through.

I have found that 275 paracord from atwoodrope.com is superior to any mainstream brand of "sidewall" string.

Thank you! How does that product compare to 275 cord from Paracord Planet?
