I have bought all my dock lines from Miami Cordage. No complains at all.
They are a bit over size for my 34AT but during the hurricane I was happy to have them.
I have 2 bow lines 4 stern lines, 4 spring lines, fore and aft, plus another set for spares and during high winds or hurricanes.
If one has to double up all lines, it does help to have a second set. Makes the insurance company happy.
Personally, I like double braided lines with stout bowline knots.
Dan, The folks at Miami Cordage are really nice to deal with. They now make a heat set 3-strand nylon that is comparable to New England and Samson. It's much more abrasion resistant than their untreated nylon.
