I've been told it's smaller diameter and it has breaking strain around 5pound above the line weight ( I stand to be corrected)?

Mono and FC vary a lot in diameter (for a given breaking strain) depending on brand. Almost all non IGFA rated lines break above their advertised weight unless the manufacturer is deliberately going for "super thin" bragging rights.
Some FC is stiffer than other brands, some are more abrasion resistant, some are softer and some have better knot strength. Difficult to know exactly what is best for you until you try a few.
