Dave,
I have both Sta-Set X and Sta-Set X Plus halyards. The Sta-Set X is 7/16 inch;
the Sta-Set X Plus, 3/8 inch. I prefer the Plus for several reasons. Lighter,
less weight aloft (although not much). It seems more pliable, that is, less
stiff. It's easier to splice but only marginally.
Both use a parallel core. I read somewhere that uni-directional core lines
don't like to stay bent in the same spot. This is common with halyards. They
stay bent around the sheaves in the same spot for a while. However, NE ropes
lists halyard use for both.
With Plus's slightly greater strength, you might be able to drop down a size
and save $$.
