Default Hand Quilting Thread?

I’ve been using Americana Hand Quilting glazed thread for some time. Recently it has changed, fraying, breaking.
What hand quilting thread do y’all use? Thank you

I've used Gutermann and the Superior Threads brand (can't think of the name). They are both quite wiry, and I can't say I prefer one over the other, both are fine. I also tried hand quilting with Aurifil 28 wt. once, due to wanting a variety of colors. I didn't care for that much. It would eventually fray/break, and I missed the wiry texture I was used to.

I have used coats & clark quilting thread for several quilts and it has held up fine.

I usually use Aurifil but my LQS has Wonderfil in color & weight I wanted and it was as good.
