Abrasion cloth for keel area?

What is the best type of abrasion resistant material to line the keel area with? I want something that will wet out fairly clear. I've seen some pro's and cons regarding the dynel and olifin(SP?) materials as the tend to soak up alot of epoxy. Do they wet out clear or are they whitish after wet out? Anyway, I just looking for some feed back on what's out there. I thought about syntex cloth but it seems like it would be expensive and difficult to work with.
Thanks,
Steve
