There is no best fishing line. It's all personal preference. By the type of fishing you were mentioning I would say braid would be your best bet. Maybe fireline in 15-20 pound diameter which is the equivalent to about 40 pound test.

"the best" is pretty subjective and there is no ONE answer.

Not saying it is "the best" but if I were putting line on a spinning reel, I would give Berkley Trilene XL Armour coat a try. It is amazingly limp and does not hold coils like a lot of lines. Pull it off the spool and it just lays straight. I bet is would be great on spinning reels, which naturally tend to have problems with lines coiling and holding curls.

Edit to add: I just reread and saw the bottom bouncing part. In that case braid is probably your best bet.

The only thing I use braid on is my sturgeon and bar rods. For them I use power pro.

No idea what guys prefer on lighter setups for bb'ing.

The reason braid is used is because it is a lot stronger then mono. This allows you to pull your gear off snags. Also braid is very sensitive and allows you to feel everything, I won't say bite because that's not what's happening. I'd go with Berkeley fireline but up to you.

My favorite braid line is Sufix 832 6 lb for shore salmon fishing.
Works good and never broke line.

for colour.. their website tells you advantages of each colour and when to use..but use whatever you like better. i like dark green http://www.powerpro.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/power_pro_v2/products/powerpro_super_lines.html  .. see what the store has as well. they might not have some colours

Ok, all the brands everyone has mentioned are great for what you want to do. I have used spider wire once and found it had lots of abrasion and didn't last very long. If that's the line you want to use, go for it. Use about 10 pound diameter, as braid is bought by diameter and not pound test. It's really simple, most fishing stores if you ask the question they will lead you in the right direction. In the Fraser the clarity is usually poor so worrying about the fish seeing the line and spooking is not much of an issue while bottom bouncing. I don't bottom bounce but I have used braid a lot for bar fishing and sometimes other situations,.
