I only use monofiliment for SID and the two brands I like best are Superior Monopoly which is a poly and Filtec Essence which is nylon. Have only used YLI in my domestic but if I were to gauge performance based on that, I feel it would work just as nicely as the aforementioned brands in the LA.
I have never used monofiliment for that kind of FMQ in my LA only slow ditch work around piecing and around applique. Ditch work tends to be very slow so I am not putting the same demands on the thread that I would when doing FMQ like fairly rapid changes in directions and speed such as when doing swoops, swirls and fills.
For any FMQ, fills and motifs that I just want texture and don't want the thread to really stand out I use Wonderfil's Invisifil and match the color as closely as possible to the fabric color. So this may result in you needing to do many thread changes if that is what you go with.
