So from previous research I learned that imported and domestic “nylon” lines can be any number of compositions having less than 100% nylon, and even some where spools are filled with flaws or are even multiple pieces adding up to X length on the spool. So, without basing quality on the most expensive material I can find, what are people using for nylon twisted lines? I see on amazon they offer Sea Strand brand at a good price, claiming to be nylon but is it quality?

It seems to fit the right weight and includes some engineering data that makes it seem legit. $.40/ft is a lot better than what New England ropes wants for 5/8”.
I want this for anchor and mooring lines.
Or maybe there is something better nowadays like spectra?
