I would suggest 40 pound braid. I've never broken it personally... even when I was snagged in rocks and really wished I could, lol!
I like sticking to 2 different sizes of braid. I use 20 pound for my lighter stuff and 40 pound for flipping. 40 pound braid is still very castable. 65+ pound braid will pretty much limit you to flipping and pitching. 40 pound Power Pro is the diameter of the average 10 pound mono. There was a time I had spools of 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 65 pound braid... I don't have the resources to keep buying all different sizes, so sticking to two has made things cheaper and simpler.
I've tried 50, 65, and 80 pound braid but 40 is more manageable and it's as tough as nails. You'll straighten all your hooks out and probably break your rod before you snap it.
