12 Strand Synthetic Rope.
Much of a muchness between them (plasma brand vs dyneema brand vs Amsteel) specification wise but buy the right size of a branded rope from a well known supplier. It would probably be a mistake buying cheap no name rope from ebay or something.
Personally mine is 11mm dyneema bowrope from Goodwinch, there is some reading info on their webby http://www.dborc.co.uk/goodwinch/dyneema.htm

I have the dyneema from goodwinch and it is very good, has good abrasion resistance, been on there over a year and is only just fluffing up now!

crazymac:
A few of the winch challenge guys use their local tree surgery suppliers!

Thats what was recommended to me. Phoned them up, explained what I wanted, it arrived the next day complete with hook and a damn site cheaper than the branded ones. It is proper stuff, just not "branded" stuff.

dyneema on the back and trying out one of the marlow "extreme " ropes on the front for the next comp  8-[
