If you want to go the performance route, race your boat and spend more $ and if your sheeves allow it has previously stated, You can go full dyneema.
In this range I have Samson MLX for jib halyard and Cousin Dyneestar for main. Comparing the two I prefer the Cousin product, have not compared numbers, but feels less stretch, less prone to kink and easier on the hand. Very good performance line. Bruno.

I race lightly, and cruise. Definitely it was the cheapest option. My rigger had indicated that a good inspection of the sheaves at the crane should be done if going to an all rope version, as sometimes the wire will have chewed into the sheaves which will cause it to chew into your new expensive rope. Also, you would need to check to see if the new rope halyard would fit in the sheaves properly, ie the shoulders and tracke of the sheave are wide enough to accept the rope halardy. Probably saved me a few hundred bucks and works just fine. If you go the all rope route and need to replace your sheaves, Zypherwerks can make them for your: http://www.zephyrwerks.com/sheaves.html Not sure what you mean my foresail, perhaps Spinnaker? Those are external run on my boat and lead to a block outside forward part of the crane. I'd like to get them a little further out, but haven't gotten to that project yet, as if the Spin isn't fully flying it can get snagged in the headsail when furling it....but with a little training everything works just ifne. My spin halards are all rope based XLS, which I know has more stretch than other lines, but then again I'm not racing for americas cup...just around the buoys for some fun. Hope this helps in your decision process. -- Cheers, Jeff Nelson Muir Caileag C&C 30 Armdale Y.C.
