Which property most strongly supports considering a suitable nylon product for mooring lines and anchor warps?

Short answer

Nylon — because it stretches and absorbs changing loads

Nylon's elongation can absorb changing mooring and anchoring loads, while a low-stretch line passes more of that change into the fittings and vessel. The complete product still needs suitable construction, diameter, condition and termination. Revise Rope Types and Materials.
