I have been think about the best cordage for ridgelines and guy lines so i thought i would ask you guys what you use and what you think would work the best. for both or one or the other.

Zing-it is very popular because it is strong and does not stretch. It's also very low bulk and weight and it is spliceable.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
I tend to use zing it or no-tangle for both right now. I have also used dacron cord (kite line) with really good results.

I use the first line in this link. I use the smaller 1.25 for the tie-outs, and the 1.5 for the tarp ridgeline because it fits Dutch's tarp flyz real nice. Dutch hook.
I use 1.75mm Zing-it because it's visible without bring reflective (yellow), doesn't tangle, and it's light (although not the lightest option). I buy the 180' spools from www.reddenmarine.com

+1 to what MAD777 said ^. Zing-it works really well and is spliceable.
Zing it all the way, great stuff...
And here's a great deal on it, too!
