Strimmer cable, which one?

[Justme]

The last time I needed to buy strimmer cable the choices were very limited. Standard round or some square with ali powdered in it.

 

Now there seems to be a plethora of plastic types, more profiles than you can shake a stick at (star, square, round, lumpy, twisty ect) & some made with an outer & inner core both made of different plastics with differing properties.

 

So what do you all use?

 

Cheap & cheerful & lots of it or better quality & it lasts longer?

 

If it makes any difference it will be for mixed use, grass, weeds, brambles on rough ground & neat grass around mown lawn edges & trees / plants.

Thicker cable for bramble and thicker grasses 2.4 or 3 mm on the lawn for edging up and especially round trees I use 2mm and a lighter strimmer any area of size I stick my rough cut mower on ,lot quicker and can still walk to local later!
