Default Polypropylene, Or Dacron Rope For Long term Outdoor Usage: Suggestions ?

Hello:

Will beputting up a simple horizontal radio antenna for receiving only.

Have to connect the end of the antenna wire to a tree, perhaps 15 feet or so
away.

It's going to be a real pain to string it, and would really like whatever I
use to tie the end of the wire to the
insulator I'll have on the tree to last a Very long time.

How is polypropolyne rope for very long term outdoor usage ?
Thinking of brittleness problems due to ozone, heat in the summer, zero
temp's in the winter, etc. ?

Anything better; perhaps items like Dacron rope ?

Or,... ?

Thanks,
Bob
