Well let me preface by saying that I wish I had the same problem. I haven't fished that much since I was around 20 years old.
If you are fishing 3+ times every week, I wouldn't want to keep line on a reel any longer than that. Especially if you cut off a foot or two when you snag up, retie or break off. Not to mention the UV sunlight that your line is getting exposed to by spending that much time on the water. That's darn near the same as leaving your reels out in the sun. Regular use, water, and sunlight will wear that stuff out no matter how good of line you buy.
Hopefully you aren't buying filler spools. They are a waste - especially if you respool very often. Get you one of them 3,000 yard service spools and keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to sunlight.
I use Stren Original in Clear Blue Flo. I really like 6#, but it's a little risky for fishing expensive cranks. Especially since all my favorite cranks and/or colors are all discontinued now, and what I have has to last me. So I use 8# all-around unless I have a situation that really calls for more or less.
Congratulations.
