1/2" white nylon twist is fine, braid is better over the long haul 50' of line and 5' of 5/16 galv chain to your anchor , this is prob overkill for your boat, but better than to watch it drift off during a wade.........
reason for the larger size line is that it is way easier on your hands

I bought 2 ea 25' x 1/2" docking lines and I connected the chain to one of them, then I use just the one unless I am anchoring in deeper water

Helps keep the rope of of oyster reefs, etc. that might cut it, or the rope getting cut by the anchor itself. I have a small jon boat and have instead a braided, heavy duty piece of 7/8" rope (I already had the rope and was too cheap to buy a chain)

The chain is also to help your anchor hookup on the bottom...the chain allows the anchor to lay flatter and bite...if thats the kind of anchor you have. Of course sometimes you can't get that bugger to grab for nuthin!!!
