Ideally, 3/16" of "quality" double braid to minimize stretch. Low stretch single braid will work also.

Like Philip said, decent quality 3/16" polyester double braid is fine. I use sta-set (with something much higher quality for the spin halyard.)
Once the main is hoisted, the halyard bears no load, so no reason to go overboard on it.
