Half inch three strand nylon.

Overkill for all normal conditions. I anchored a 34 ft, 10,000 pound
boat for many years using half inch nylon. 3/8ths is more than
enough.

Now that I went to the garage and looked at a hank of 3/8" rope, I agree.
Looks like 3/8" nylon it is.

1/4" will work. Your hands will hate you for it.
