If your name has anything to do with it, then I'd definitely consider one of the braided lines. With the braided lines I'd even go as high as 30 lb test since the diameter is so small. Then again, it depends on what you're targeting. The only reason I'd go that high is if you're going for Pike and large catfish as well as bass, panfish, etc.
If you're going for the smaller fish, then you can probably get away with 15-20 lb braided line.
If you're going to go with monofilament, then I'd stick with 8-10 lb test. What kind will depend on the waters your fishing. Limp lines (Trilene XL, Stren Magnathin, etc) are great for areas where there's little to no abrasion for your line to rub again. But if there's rocks, tree stumps, or anything else that might be rough on your line, then go with some of the stiffer lines (Trilene XT, Big Game lines, or one of my newer favorites, YoZuri Hybrid Extra-Limp which is still very tough).
