Like all things sailing.... It Depends.
Boats that the builders supply with
cheap or substandard
equipment typically aren't the kinds of boats that are likely to benefit from incremental upgrades in running
rigging.
A good
builder will supply running rigging that is selected to match the performance characteristics of the
boat. Low stretch, high tech lines where they make sense and simple polyester double where that is better, or at least sufficient.
It is a rare
boat outside the high performance
racing circuit where
jib or main
sheets of
spectra are really useful for anything other than emptying your overstuffed wallet. Halyards, are a different story.
So, in general your question is impossible to answer. There are too many builders of different kinds of boats. They are all different.
