it all depends on were you are fishing
heavy ground- i would say sensor because its strong and is abrasive
clean/mixed- the sufix quite low diameter but strong
curtis all the best

Never used Suffix so cannot comment, but always heard good reports aboot it.
I used to use Daiwa Sensor, but never again. It snaps to easily (in the 15lb to 25lb breaking strains). I use a bimini twist with it and when snagged the slightest knick in the line and it snapped, and it always seemed to snap well away from the snag, not at the knot like it should.
Try Sakuma Dark Crystal. I use this in the 20lb, 25lb and 30lb breaking strains, and I simply cannot fault it, its excellent. Good abrasive resistance, very strong once knotted for its poundage, and has a good diameter for its poundage (0.37mm in 20lb, 0.425mm in 25lb).

i just filled up my reel with daiwa sensor and find it slightly thick. i can quite easily empty my reel when casting. its 25lb so not too heavy really. my mate had some line i seen the other day which was about half the thickness of it. decent line but i think id prefer some thing thinner next time.

You see what I mean then buddy.
A cannot give Sakuma Dark Crystal (or any of the crystal range) any higher praise, its excellent. Strong as Daiwa Tournament, but just not as thicker diameter for its poundage (which is a help as you get more on a spool, so more on your reel).
Ano two good friends of mine in the shields club who used to use Sensor, and they had the same problem and found Daiwa and Sakuma a much betterl line, and both of these people are very good anglers.
Some of the best casting line i have come across is penn supersurf in 0.33mm 15lb , bright red in colour, smooth with accurate diameter and it was very strong it outshone everything in the 15lb dept. So of course they stopped selling it
Price was around £7-8 a spool for 1200yds on a wide drum.
You can still get this line now from usa, it is a bass spinning line and now sold from a company called izorline usa, the line is now called superline supersurf. it is available in all sizes and you can buy 3 spoolsfor 23 quid inc postage
Best i have found and i am sticking to it

I also use this 20 and 30 and its excellent 30lb f1 snapps easier than 20lb xts
Definately Berkley XTS I've not had any bother with it either mate, really really strong abrasion wise and test lb and it casts very well
