Both fireline and power pro are good lines , especially in the surf with plugs and jigs. I find the fireline a bit stronger and less susceptible to break offs around rocks but nothing cast further than the power pro, making it great on the open beach. Now, about braids wearing out the guides? If you're using quality guides like Fugi, you should have no problems with either power pro or fireline.
I think that all of those stories you hear about braids and fireline cutting into guides were a problem with the first generation super-lines, like spiderline which is a non braided spectra fiber line.
The new generation lines like power pro and fireline are so superior to that that once you get used to using those lines you won't use anything else.
