Remembering your lines!

I noticed during my last fishing session that my reel line is getting a little tired and needs to be replaced. I normally carry two reels in my bag, a DAM 'coffee grinder' closed faced reel with Drennan 4.4lb float fish line and a Ryobi open faced reel with Maxima 8lb line. These particular brands were an automatic choice for me as they were what I used in my formative piscatorial years. However I wanted to take this opportunity to open the discussion to the blogging community for any recommendations or suggestions.

Has line technology improved over the last 15 years? Are the older lines still popular due to the fishing community being stuck in their ways or doe the old adage stand true - if it ain't broke don't fix it?

I am being torn between Daiwa Sensor and the Maxima for my ledgering requirements - does anyone currently use this?

Your comments will be most welcome!
