I like my Dyneema lifelines for all the same reasons as Jerry, plus it’s easy to splice yourself thus making it cheaper still to install. I read that chafe is an issue but it’s easy to check any chafe points and I’ve never found a problem. I don’t have any 250 lb crew on the rail, mostly, so there is that.
