Which trimmer string do you use (stihl trimmer)

I have a problem with string coming out of a fixed head (non-bump head) Stihl trimmer. We have two, and it's the same issue for both. We've tried different thicknesses of Stihl line, but have same problem. The thicker line does work better, but when we're into the heavy stuff, it all seems to fly out. I spend more time rethreading string then actually weedeating.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a seperate brand of string that actually holds in the trimmer better? So far, the best has been some expensive star shaped line from tractor supply, but it still has some issues.

I should clarify that I'm not talking weedeating the flower beds, I'm talking chewing up some serious grass and weeds on a ranch that includes fenceposts aplenty, concrete, etc... Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
