Got a new reel, Getting new line

Hi Guys/Gals,
I just bought a new reel since I got a great price on a rod. I had picked up a new St. Croix 6wt at a steal of a price so I decided to pick up a new reel. I wanted an affordable large arbor so I searched high and low and came across a brand new Pflueger Trion at about half the cost I had seen them anywhere else. Though it is in the 7/8 weight size I figured it would not be a problem having it on my 6 wt. Brought it home and put them together and it feels really nice. I had some backing around the house so I got that on there. Now I was just wondering......what brand/model of line do you prefer? I'm looking around and there is so much to choose from and I haven't bought any in a couple years. Looking forward to your replies.

Also, my main use of this will be for Steel in PA but I will also be using it for some bass and small stripers/blues/weakies from time to time. So probably a WF line since I will use it on open water from time to time.

THanks

My favorite line is Rio seems slicker than others.

SAgpx line is weighted a little heavier for fast action rods. this is what i got on my vapor 6wt. rod and love it!
i like 444dt lines. wouldn't use anything other when it comes to a dt line for trout.
 
i've used 333 line for steelhead and largmouth and it seems ok without getting stiffer in the cold or too soft in warm water.
 

 I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Cortland, SA or Rio lines.
Use a soft DT if you primarily fish Erie tribs. A stiffer WF is only better if you fish the lake a lot.
I usually end up cutting anywhere from 1 to 3 feet off the tip of the line. You really don't need those delicate fly line tips found on many DT lines to throw shot, floats and weighted flies.
