Best Rope for wrenching?

I am currently using arbormaster now but am looking at getting a new rope and am just wondering what people have found to be good for wrenching. Was thinking of some KMIII or Vortex. What have you guys found best for working on and gaining access. Thanks in advance for your input.
 
You've got my attention. I'm swinging on arbormaster as well, but it'll wear to the point of retirement at some point.
 
I have been playing around with different ropes trying to find one that I like for wrenching. I have used tachyon most but wasnt happy with how the ascenders tended to pick the rope easily when going up. I then tried a piece of KMIII, and found that the more I used it the stiffer the rope became, which I didnt understand. But the Ascenders didnt pick the rope. I then had a chance to try Fly. So far I have been really happy with the feel, size and consistancy of this rope. I have been putting a 110 foot piece through the ringer and it is just as soft as when i started.
I know some people hated it and some people liked it with double line, and the splice isnt exactly very friendly to complete. It works well with my single line system, and I dont use a splice when using the rope wrench. Im pretty sure I will be ordering a 200' with my next gear order.
I did find out early that coiling fly wasnt a very good way to put the rope away, because it hockled pretty bad the next time I used it. But a rope bag solved that.
 
Just got some vortex. excellent rope. A little on the heavy side but you cant have everything. Its static, soft to the touch and holds a hitch nicely. Poison Ivy has been great to me as well. Fly seemed quite bouncy to me.
