the elongation thing is a good point. a small movement in direction of loading can mean the diff between good equalisation and all load going onto one piece. I use a 5.5mm spectra one and find that you have to be very careful to get the direction right. no other dramas with the stuff. the other thing to remember is that they don't usually see the same loads as your climbing rope. when belaying a seconder there is little shock loading and when belaying a leader, much of the shock load goes into shifting the belayer.
