Gutermann extra strong thread followed by liberal application of Seamgrip (or Aquasure which is the same stuff but less runny).

I use a standard black nylon, doubled twice when sewing and always make sure to create a flap or patch with a guard stitch to avoid wear on the repair seam. It's what most of the suits normally use.
I'd then find everything around the stitch would tear as the cordura was too thin.
A good tip for preserving the life of seams and preventing ripping is to glue/patch them before they rip. I learnt this only after many AV suits, though I now have an Alp design which fits me better and so doesn't rip.

I had no idea what you meant Droid, so I had to look it up 
seems I plumbed for "Hercules" 90lb 0.5mm PE braided line, I had no idea what monofil was so cam across this page: https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/difference-between-braid-and-dacron_topic19687.html
All I know is that it has a Marlin fish on the front; so must be good...

I use this stuff, but only as I have several hundred metres already on my reels:

Pretty much indestructible, especially if coated with Aqua Sure. Though I found Storm Sure to be cheaper and actually survived better underground. Also this stuff is just as good, and you can get it at B&Q:
