My preference would be the mid to top of the line Scientific Angler lines, but unless I can catch them on clearance sale I pass them up because of the high price. In the last year or so I have started using Barrio lines from Scotland, particularly the Small Stream series. Mike Barrio does an excellent job of designing line tapers, has them built to his specs by one of the largest line manufacturers in the UK. Ships worldwide direct from Barrio Lines with no shipping charges. Small Stream line usually runs around $35, and I have been very happy with these lines. I have no financial interest in this company, just a very satisfied customer.
