Don't spend more money than you have to- there's a type of nylon cord called mason's line that makes a wonderful bowstring if you can get the knots to hold, which is probably cheaper than a fancy string. It's your call, though.

Oh yeah, that's the string I got o.O It's interesting that I managed to pick the right kind of string with no prior information.
