Is there an existing post that summarizes the best recommended line for EGO 15" string trimmers? If not, share your recommendations here. I'm expecting this to be for the 0.095" size.
I read one mention of ECHO Black Diamond. I see ECHO has a Cross-Fire line. I've seen other brands at Home Depot and Lowes too. I see that the EGO brand is about twice as expensive as other brands.
I tend to look for good value (not always the high-end, but not the cheapest either). I'll be using it around my home on a 1/2 acre neighborhood lot -- assuming I get the green light from my wife to splurge and get a new EGO trimmer (grin).
Thanks in advance.

The EGO line was ok especially if I was careful around hard objects. There were some weeds and vines that it would not cut. Rather than break it would fray. Of the many different recommended top trimmer lines I was able to find the echo Crossfire the least expensive. I tried it yesterday. It cut all the weeds and vines that the original trimmer line would not. It's noisy and makes a whirring sound. Low-speed seems to cut as well as high did with the original line. High is almost like a brush cutter. The most amazing part , I went through a full battery charge and didn't have to bump out line even once. Crossfire is the only one I have tried. I don't think I'll be needing to try anything else.
