Most of the thread I've been using was part of the "donation" from a friend that started me off on this new obsession.
It's time to replace some of my stock. What do you all use? Looking for something fairly strong and not too small in diameter. I like to tie mine pretty tight.
Danville Flat Waxed 210 Denier! Then a few colors have to go to Danville Flymaster Plus 210 also. Then a very few colors I have to go with a thread that is smaller than I like. However these 2 are enough!
I forgot to say you can always tie with mono also!

I'm with Skip on his choice of maker. Most of what I tie lately is smaller than normal and I use 140 denier because I find it easier to hide. The fish don't care but I do. I have some 70 for when I tie flies, but I'm heavy handed and it will break easy if you don't pay attention. Uni will do if you can't find any other, and it's quality is good , but Danville is my preference. If you like the Gray Ghost a lot of us tie, be sure to get some gray thread for that. A good finishing touch is to not see the thread on those. And I'm still learning too.
