I use 7/16 Sta-Set on my 35/3. These is some stretch when close hauled, but a click or two on the winch once the sail is loaded takes care of it.
Most of the wear comes from where the line goes around the winch when close hauled. With separate sheets you can reverse the sheets when they wear. Buy them 5 feet longer and you can cut off a couple feet and extend the life even more.
