I have used Mean Green as well. Liked it a lot at first, but also found it to break down after use. Casts well on spinning gear, but a little hard for me to see.
I then tried another copolymer line, called Izorline. In my opinion, It's the best line I have ever used for steelhead fishing. I use 10# Hi Vis for mainline, but still use Maxima ultra green for leaders.
A short time ago, Sportco was selling Izorline at 25 bucks for 5000 yds of 10#, normally a little over 30 bucks.
