I'd go with the 10 mm or 7/16" StaSet-X. The parallel polyester core is going to be lower stretch than a traditional core. However, don't use StaSet-X for sheets, since it tends to be a bit stiffer than StaSet. 
If you've got the budget for it and want lower stretch, and less weight aloft, you might look at 8 mm T-900, which is a Spectra-cored line. It has a tensile strength of 7,300 lbs. vs 7,400 lbs. for the 7/16" StaSet-X, and weighs 3.2 lbs/ 100' vs. 5.9 lbs. / 100'.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
