I find that just because the line has a name brand does not mean it is going to be good. I guess I won't have a line sponsor now, will I?#-o
The P-Line series is not my favorites for sure, but the Florclear is good. It has the strengths of mono and some of the refraction of carbon. It works good for all reals, but it is a go to for my spinning reals. The CXXX is OK for bait casting reals, but it has a lot of memory and is thick for the rated breaking strength.
Braids are everywhere, and for a reason. They are great lines, but, they are still just tools. I find that braids are not good lines for jerk baits, glide baits, or big swim baits. I prefer mono for those. Also, for line shy fish, you must use leaders if you use braids. I find Power Pro works well on spinning reals and bait casters.
Suffix Siege and Elite are good lines, and I have both spooled up on different spinning reals. In heavy enough lines, they work well on bait casters as well.
Gamma is actually a good line, but you must not forget to lubricate your knot as you tighten it. I have one spinning real spooled up with it.
What you look for in a spinning real line is mostly low memory, something that won't leave you with a lot of birds next to pull out. I also find that smaller diameter lines help with casting distance.
What you look for in bait casting lines is lower stiffness, therefore fewer back-lashes, and toughness.
Still, there is no one line for one type of real and one line for another type of real.
I assure you, everyone has there preferred lines, but I find that Stren, Berkley, and Maxima are lines that were once top of the heap, but have not improved over time. They are selling based on old reputations, not current excellence. Again, this is what I find, and as you can see, others have their opinions that are different then mine.
