For level wind reels, Maxima is excellent. I use it on my Curado regularly. I haven't tried Perfexion yet and probably won't. But for spinning reels, avoid Maxima like the plague. It's much too stiff. I prefer Trilene Big Game for spinning reels. It's got excellent knot strength and is inexpensive. So I respool every other time out. I believe that fresh inexpensive line is better than expensive line that been on the reel for a couple months.

I also checked with the folks at Fisherman's Marine in Portland. They did some testing on break strength and found Big Game to have the highest break strength of the lines they tested. (I should have asked which brands they tested). Just my .02.
