SJ I would recomend a 4 or 5 wire polycoated wire. I have 10 acres in pature for my horses with wood posts all the way around with a 5 wire polycoat. The wire is a high tensile wire with a .312 diamter polycoat plastic coating. My top wire is a bare high tensile that is hot. It works great. Gives you the security of high tensile, but wont slice your horses up if they run into it. It holds up great to temperature extremes and UV rays. It is as easy to install as high tensile. Goes up quicker than tape and lasts a whole lot longer. I have had mine for 7 years with no problems. Once a year I walk the fence line and secure a few staples and tighten up the lines, takes me about an hour. With tapes you always have sag from the wind whipping it around and broken line connecters that need replaced on a regular basis. Also if not kept hot the horses will chew on the tape.
