I would personally stay away form mono on your reel. Dyneema and other braided lines hold up way better to rubbing on the rocks or coral. Ive had my dyneema wrapped up on the reef numerous times and its still in great condition. I use mono as my shooting line because its cheap and easy enough to change but it gets nicked real easy. I probably change my shooting line every 5 dives or so. I have never had to change my line on my reel (had it close to two years now).

I think that with mono on your reel, if you were to get a nick in the line say 20 or 30 feet into the spool than you would have to cut it wasting alot of line. Just my thoughts though. maybe some will disagree with me.
