Any modern climbing rope, utilized properly, will safely hold up to and including factor 2 falls of a 200 lb climber. Choosing rope diameter is usually a trade off between rope weight and durability. A thick rope will last much longer before needing retirement and is more resistant to cutting on sharp edges, but also weighs more than a thinner rope. Also, a thinner rope is slightly harder to belay with and may require a specialized belay device designed to apply proper friction.
