Default synthetic rigging and UV impact

hello, I have an Ericson 27 that needs new standing rigging. I have more time than money and am considering SS wire with mechanical fittings, or like then idea to learn how to splice and use the new synthetic (Amsteel/Dyneema/spectra etc) stuff. (I have dyneema halyards and topping lift) but worriy about using it for standing rigging. I have explored the forums including this one for info and dont see any discussion about UV impact. I have never seen a synthetic fiber that didnt break down in the sun after a few years. What real life time lines have these fibers been used in rigging? What info does anyone have about the pros or cons

thanks
Kyle
