12 strand single braid spun is about as pleasant on the hand as anything around. Because it has no core, it flattens a bit around a winch making for very easy tailing. I've seen some problems with self-tailing winches but that's mostly using a single braid at the small end of where a double braid or cored line of that size would have worked.

Many are prejudiced against three strand on the theory that the direct loading causes a slight unlay that leads to twists. I've not seen that myself, but any line will kink if not let fall or flaked correctly. Hense, my own first choise would be spun three strand but most would shy from that.

G'luck
