I have used TS1, ustracam, 450+, 452, and 8125. My favorites have been the TS1 and 452. I think 452 offers the best balance of speed, stability, durability, and ease of maintaince

With today's materials, you can hardly go wrong. Bottom line - they're all very good when the string is built properly. If you can pre-stretch the string, break-in time is greatly reduced and you can expect all of them to perform very well. You can tweak them for speed or durability by varying strand count, and serving diameters, but what you end up with is going to be similar to most other modern materials.

Eh, probably not for a few months. Fishing tournaments, working part time, the g/f... my time is pretty much taken.
