Lashing material for lifelines

Hi,
I’m setting up dyneema lifelines on my 30’ racer-cruiser (primarily cruiser). I am using Colligo terminals and 1/4” Amsteel. What is the best line to use for the lashings? I was looking at Samson Lash-It. Would 1/16 or 3/32 be better? For that matter are there better lines to use for lashing? Could I get away with using a basic dyneema line that lets me get enough passes in? Thanks!
