I mostly use the Stihl .095 orange line, never had a problem. All spools of line are stored in buckets of water with lids, the stuff will last decades.
We started using the poly blades about 7 years ago, work good on grasses.
But for bigger jobs like reeds, saplings and small trees nothing beats a blade.
Don't buy cheap line you will just use more for the same job. My buddy tried that Echo cross fire string, he used 3 times as much as I did. Plus I had 8 year old stihl string from behind the seat of the old work truck.

I used Oregon Gator line in .095, .105, .155, an .170 sizes i water an fabric softener soak all them hardly ever get breaks, the line once soaked it last 4-5 times as long as non soaked line
Oregon site says soaking line will make it last much longer. i was shocked at how much longer it last
Airecut blade is the best blade I have ever used i have used pretty much every blade made
as we all know there is a time for line an a time for blade, a time for a flame thrower, and a time for a bush hog

I love what keeping it in water does for it.
Out of curiosity I put a shot of anti-freeze in the last batch, I figured the lube in it might help.
I'll try that fabric softener in the next batch.
But it may take a while,as the water soak is making it take longer to use up !!
If nothng else, i won't have to be quite so concerned with critters getting into the laundry juice.

I've used The fabric softener trick for cast nets for years
Trimmer isn't most different than a cast net
Yes it works. Like I said I was shocked at how well it works

I use Stihl X-Line http://vanceope.stihldealer.net/products/trimmers-and-brushcutters/accessories/trimmer-line/xline/
the .95 which goes in my srm-225 much better than the echo trimmer line.
