I fish spate rivers but typically not rock strewn, the 12lb Big Game works well - point being it actually is 17lb BS. I have experienced no problems with the 9kg PowerPro braid either. If I was regularly fishing the Ribble or some of the Wye with its rock ledges I might do otherwise but 15lb Big Game and Quicksilver leader sorts that.

However as a quick perusal of the Tackle Box line tests
show at: www.tacklebox.co.uk/ things quickly
get complicated.

Try this:
Mainline 12lb Big Game Clear, Hooklength Silkworm at 12
Mainline 15lb X-line, Silkworm hooklength at 12.

hooklink should be weaker than mainline.

2. Here's the snag...

Modern Barbel fishing is using a hybrid course/carp technology and methods. We use beefed up Avon rods known as a Barbel rods, these generally are only recommended for lines of 10-12lb; then we use the carp style hair rig made of coated braid (for abrasion resistance and camou) generally these are manufactured to a BS of over 15lb

the thing is and this is especially with braids when barbel fishing, a lot of the time there is sharp rocks and flints ect on the bottom, braid weakens severely if even only getting slightly frayed or nicked by these, far more than the mono mainline, thus the main reason for using heavier hooklink than mainline mate....j.w
