In Lady Kate's case, none at all. Both interchangeable as best
bower.

If you have a dedicated kedge, its better to have a low
stretch rode on the kedge.

It mmakes sense to use low stretch line for the kedge and a somewhat springy line for the anchor.

Why?

Assuming you don't mean *no* stretch, how does one get less stretch - are
there rodes with an intermediate stretch?

Nylon for stretchy, polyester, chain, spectra etc. for low stretch.
