what line is best for fishing straight through, is it Maxima? is this the
lowest diameter compared to strength.? or are they others better, all
suggestions appreciated

It's a compromise. Thinner lines will be more severely affected by
abrasion, thicker ones will give poorer presentation. You may prefer a
bit more stretch than some of the lower diameter lines give.

I used Maxima exclusively for years, and was always very happy with it,
but line technology has moved on, and I'm not particularly well up on
the newer stuff.
