They'll all break given enough teddy. I'd happily use ESP, Korda and Rig marole, the latter can be a pain to thread at times though.

Genuine question - does heaviest matter?
Much of my fishing is on gravel pits with little or no silt - so whilst my science is not great if it sinks it sinks. For the above reason I switched to the fox edges 'plastic' and used some lead wire as I love it's strength, pattern and cost.

The korda thin one is jank....

I've tried loads over the years, the heaviest and supplest is the hls stuff off ebay, and it used to be the cheapest (used to be £14 for 2 x 5m, it's now £22.75 with a special offer of 10% off - approx £4 for 2m). The only down side to it is that all colours are a bit dark.

I use the ESP stuff. Heavy and supple.

I never got on with the Rig Marole tubing. The metal core is nice and heavy, but it makes the tubing sit dead straight. I found this dead straight line stood out like a sore thumb on the bottom leading to your rig. Might make no difference but it looked unnatural
