I will be fishing a very large gravel pit that has an abundance of weed and mussels. Anyone recommend a line for these conditions , currently I use Subline.

HydroTuff or SLS Specimon Tough
Although I did hear the SLS was discontinued

Fluorocarbon is reasonably tough, the rest is just marketing spiel, "The latest, greatest blah blah blah" . It will be a pain to cast with. Maxima is fat, soft and not bad but a bit of a compromise, Sensor is similar but I'd use a decent strong line like Technium and use a long leader.
Look towards the sal****er fly market like these guys:

Gr60 mate, in 18lb. Or the korda carp line in 20lb is decent too. Stay away from cm90, mussels cut it like butter

I would have gone for power pro but it's about 180£ per spool (1000yds).

Are leaders allowed as well?
My reservoir has concrete blocks, metal drainpipes and pilings on the bottom. I use 15lb Gardner Pro in light or dark with a 30lb Amnesia Leader and run rings or helicopter set-ups so in the event of a snap off the fish can get rid of everything.
Lost 2 fish last season, both to snapped mono hooklinks, but landed others that had fragged the leader.
@Yonny has seen the pics of one of my shredded leaders after landing a fish.
If you can't use leaders, I would still be comfortable using just Gardner Pro in 15lb.

Good for you, I had no end of problems with it, switched back to Gr60 mid session and problem solved. That's the best I've used, and I've used a hell of a lot
