Rob, I use 1/8" "Target" throwline made by All Gear. It zips through the canopy and is strong and inexpensive($12.00/200') I also have a shorter length of it in a small bag on my saddle with an 8 oz. ball for recrotch/rope advance. The highest, most central T.I.P. with redirects as needed...
Welcome aboard Rob! I am new here as well, I learned a lot here before I even created an account! This is a great resource that is packed with people who are happy to help with any question you may have.
