Besides Fluorocarbon line which is quite expensive, Berkley has come out with Fireline Crystal which is clear as the name implies yet has the benefit of being ultrathin diameter. Their 20# line is same diameter as 8# test. Its not cheap but this stuff in my experience has the least effect on line shy fish in heavily pressured waters.
Here's Berkley's site for more info.

I like Pink Andre line. I've tried all the others, but I find that pink Andre gets less line abrasions. As far as fish being shy of the line, I've been hearing that for years and years. Never believed it. Fish are more considered about eating and being eaten.

In the US of A, it is either Berkely's Trilene XL or Pline CCX or flurocarbons. All these are tough, have low memory, and are very limp. Good choices to start with. Just do some Googling or Yahooing on those lines, and you eventually will find one that will work for you.

i am personally impressed with yozuris hybrid line.its a mix of floro and mono.ive tried dozens of kinds of lines and this is by far the best ive tried.i am curious about the new clear superline by fireline.havent tried it yet but plan on it.if the waters you fish are off colored/not clear/dont worry about line visibility.in clear waters/i have become convinced it does make some difference.

hydro-fluorocarbon has the same sectional density as water so it is invisible and will not cast a shadow. i use it for a leader when the fish are picky and spooky. it does make a big difference.
buying enough to spool a real could cost an arm and a leg.

This will depend on several factors, including water clarity, species of fish you are after, possibly even the time of the year. It will eventually come down to personal preference or what catches fish.

there will be vaying opinions by different "experts/manufacturers"
Doug hannon makes an interesting statement regarding any straight line looking unnatural. an interesting idea he proposes is to take monofilament, spool it on your reel and with a magic marker, color half of the spool dark. This gives the look of a broken/interrupted look in the water, a more natural appearance especially in clear water.

get a line that has a clear or green color depends what kind of fish you are going for....some of the newer lines change color to match the water...just read them and see what best suits you

Cajun red line is invisible to fish...they claim. I like it because it is strong.
