To add to Joel's comments, there is little advantage to using expensive hi-tech line because stretch is of no consequence. If you have any plans of putting the line on a self tailing winch just ensure it is large enough diameter for the tailer to hold.
For really light winds it may make sense to splice light weight hi-tech "shoe strings" onto the ends of your spinsheets but no more than the distance from the shrouds to the tuning block to the winch. Even with the pole all the way back the thicker part of the sheet has to be gripped by the winch tailer.
