After trying both a 3-strand and a 12-strand static line for rigging, the 12-strand is just safer and easier to handle on a complex removal.
The 12-strand's flexibility meant I could tie a running bowline in under 30 seconds with cold hands, while the 3-strand kept kinking and was a real fight, so what's your go-to rigging line for technical work?

Last spring I was rigging down a big oak limb over a client's shed with some old 3-strand. The thing was so stiff it practically had a memory, and I spent more time fighting coils than actually tying knots. Ever since then, I've switched to a 16-strand for most of my technical rigging. The difference in handling, especially when you're tired at the end of the day, is just night and day. It doesn't fight you back.
