[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]My vote goes to Berkley Fireline or a similar fused line. They provide great abrasion resistance, no stretch, and diameter same as 6 lb mono at 20# strength. I would avoid any of the braided lines. They absorb water then freeze at twice the diameter they normally are. They will also freeze on the reel from all the water retained in the braiding. Use fluorocarbon for any leader material needs. I think by varying your leader material weight, you could be pretty versatile for the fishing you have described.[/size][/font]
