"Trapeze wires may be replaced with lines of any material of not less than 2.5 mm diameter."

Now with it being allowed to use line instead of wire,what would be the recommended line and diameter to use.

IMO
Dyneema but over time it will eventually stretch and wear.
The only plus is that it's lighter than wire but in the overall picture of a H16's weight there is little difference.
