I just got some Maffioli Swiftcord 9mm for my new mainsheet and I like it very much. Feels good in the hand, goes through the block well, cleats and uncleats easily, lightweight.
I've used New England Ropes Salsa 9.5mm and FSE Robline Racing Sheet Pro 10mm with great results. In fact I have 38' of Blue FSE Robline Racing Sheet Pro 10mm that I got for a backup for my G-Cat 5.0 that I don't need anymore. I think it's been through a block one time.
I've used the 9.5mm and 10mm sheet with 3.5" Seaway blocks as well as Harken and Nautos 57mm blocks and it's great! For my smaller 40mm jib blocks I have been using New England Ropes 8mm Bzzz line but I'm rethinking that for my 21 SE because my crew had it slip out of the carbo cleat several times this weekend when it was under heavy load.

hey i was going to say that!! I think i use that in my opti it came with the boat, but i would buy it for my hobie if i needed a new sheet. Just making sure its that same i have, is it very soft, absorbs some water and has no core (i think it has no core).
