The best casting lines are pre-stretched and pre-stretching impedes abrasion resistance. You're therefore just as well going for a decent all-rounder.
What is it about the Control you don't like?

Synchro XT none loaded should be perfect in 15lb depending on distance needed

Probably that it's 0.30 and nowhere near 18lb BS. Same as the 24lb just happens to be the same diameter as most 15lb lines, and surprise surprise in the tacklebox line tests it breaks the same as them.

Lol.
By that token the 24 lb could be an option. We really need to know what he doesn't like about the line he's using.

Yep, true! I like Berkeley CM90, doesn't seem to have a lot of stretch but it's tough enough to survive the rocky tidal Trent which is where I use it so it'll deal with weed no problems.

I appreciate that 10 people will give 10 different answers though
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
