Top knot for mooring/fender lines. I don't recommend purchasing fenders from West Marine. I purchased 10X26 Big B Taylor Made Fenders somewhere online and saved around $35 per fender from West Marine, after shipping.

Have dock lines, fender lines, and anchor line coming from top knot. Awesome service so far, hope the ropes are nice!
Have taylor made fenders coming at 35 each 8.5x 27s.
Now to find an anchor that will fit in the locker

The sewn-stlye poly lines that Top Knot and other sell are nice because they float, but they are not nearly as strong as three-strand or double-braid nylon for the same diameter. If you live in an area where your dock lines are challenged by rough waters or wakes, be sure to check the working load rating of the lines you are ordering. In most cases, the poly lines will be fine, but not everywhere...
I use Miami Cordage for my custom made lines.

Try www.overtons.com I would highly recommend that you do not buy the PVC coated anchor chain. I purchased this type chain years ago and hated it. The PVC coating wears off in pieces and will get all over your boat. I would recommend SS chain or regualr galvanized chain before I would ever buy PVC coated chain again. Just my two cents.
