Agree with the above. Buy 5mm or 6mm with whatever seems to be the most supple. Some tends to be stiffer than others, so just go by feel. I used to use 6mm but had a bad habit of using them for rappel anchors. Now I use 5mm so I'm less inclined to do that unless I'm in dire straights.

Concur with all of the above. I use 5mm. The stuff from REI. It seems kinda stiff as you say. I got some once from an online retailer and it felt the same. I don't care enough about it to drive all over town and feel up different cords so I just keep using the same stuff. Don't over-think it.
