Ken, I am impressed -- you sound like you have actually tied a Prusik, and until today I had never heard of such a thing! I would probably use paracord for the Prusik. (I always carry a duffel bag full of various kinds of rope and cord in my truck, so I will experiment.)
The paracord might have a hard time coming loose when you are done. I like braided nylon cord. 1/4" or 3/8" would be better.
1/2" or so for your ridge rope. The para-cord should work for your guy lines.
