I run boards with all Hi-Vis 30# Suffix Superior. The bright yellow really makes it a lot easier to see where everything is. I also use Scotty clips instead of rubber bands as it seemed that if the rubber bands weren't cinched properly, while you are letting out line to send the curtain ring out, the fishing line would slip through the rubber band. Now instead of being out 8 bars, you were out closer to 10 or 12; tangles will surely follow!
This year I did do a couple reels up with hi vis yellow 60 or 80# braid (can't recall which) for boat roads. Plan to run 3 deep with braid and 2 with mono off the boat, and 14 or maybe 16 off the boards. Should be interesting!

Good luck!! Remember, with running boards, everything requires a lot more thought, especially turning!!
