never used it. i've used the spider wire camo braid and did not like it.
powerpro all the way. it's a little more costly, but it lasts and you are not replacing line left and right (unless some idiot runs over your lines). the sensitivity is incredible and it's an investment!
just remember to use heavy mono for your leaders though.

what is the logic behind the heavy mono leader? I use it because it was suggested but maybe some reasoning will help me understand its purpose. thanks

Big cats teeth will tear up some line. The braids are so thin that their abrasion resistance is not good at all.

If you use a braided leader it will tangle very easy and when braid tangles it just gets tighter and tighter in its tangle. With mono it is able to unwind itsself and does not tangle much
