Any reason it needs to be orange? As for how much you need, depends on what you're using it for ;)
I go min 300m on everything except dedicated bream gear though.
Daiwa do a TD sensor braid in 20lb (150 or 300m spools).

it isnt as bad as what people think otherwise they wouldnt be so many return customers buying it, i can vouch for the 40-100lb rated ones sure its abit thicker then normal braid but who cares for the price and for a guy on a budget.

50% of the population is dumber than your average joe too, doesn't mean I go along with their tips either.
The line test guy shows that shit fails below test most of the time so I won't recommend it.

its crap
I got a 1000 yards of 80lb. Breaks at 30lb no matter what knot I use and its as thick as 80lb mono..The weave is loose and moves inside the knot causing it to cut itself.. absolute crap....

But buying cheap stuff is a false economy if you buy crap, cause then you need to buy the good stuff as well as the crap, and you were better off with the good stuff that will last you a lot longer without worries.
Also, if it breaks at half strain, depending on how you fish it you might not notice/might not have much impact anyways.

very wise words, but like
very wise words, but like anything everything has its place and can have advantages but you must know what the pros and cons are, some people have money and fork out buy the newest blingage out but they cant fish if their life depended on it, but lets says a guy who doesnt have the deepest pocket buys average gear that he trust and knows the in and outs of of his stuff. a good example of this is "drag setting" who ever said you need 1/4 of the drag setting as the true drag setting is a bad fisherman and likely to get spooled cause of it, know your gear and what its capable of.

your not always buying the best sometimes you just paying the price, neways these days alot of people are just chasing bling and addicted to the gear itself and upgrading each time a new item comes out also know as tackle whores they end up blowing more money.

Can Recommend Nitlon, sure
Can Recommend Nitlon, sure its one of the thickest and roughest braids out there but its pretty reliable. Have had a spool since 2008 and it has still got full colour.
Bass hard comes in orange also but TD sensor seems to be more user friendly

orange braid
i can recommend the diawa saltiga surf braid (bluewater stores ) its mostly yellow but colour coded and is excellent (very very thin/smooth too.
