What is the best fluorocarbon for $15?
I don't have much experience with fluorocarbon.
I've looked at several: Red Label, Vicious, Berkley Vanish, Sunline Super, and P-Line.
What fluorocarbon for $15 would y'all suggest from your personal experience?

Red Label. First I ever tried and I still use it. Never had a problem.

I've only used red label and it's good line. I buy the 1000yrd spools for $50 at tackle warehouse.

I have changed to red label and like it. Vicious is too stiff for me.

Red label. Can't beat it!

P line 100% is the strongest,most consistant,and most abrasion resistant of those lines. It does have more memory than some,which requires a higher skill level,but,you can't have it both ways. It's,also,priced well at $22. for 250 yards.

I've tried some cheap Vanish before and it was fine. Granted, its not Invis X or Trilene 100%. But the Vanish did cast well and the memory wasn't bad but it just seemed weak. All in all not bad line for the price.

I buy the same 1000 yard spool and can defintely attest a whole lot more big fish in the boat than got away. In fact i cant't think of breaking off a single fish when i retied properely.

Of all the brands up there I've only used vanish. It is awful in my opinion.

I think triple fish is one of the top lines no matter what price you are looking at. Look at the test on Tackle Tour.

Pretty sure they have the red label at academy for around $11 for 200 yds of the 15 lb.
Vanish is garbage

Spend the extra $5 and get you some Invis-X.
You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.
