Need to resew some of the stitching on an 11 top. Any suggestions on the best thread material to use?
Posting as an experienced top fabricator, the thread you use should not be cotton & the thread being available to use is determined by the technical features of hand sewing or machine being domestic or industrial and needle size; table space if using sewing machine.

#16, left twist; standard upholstery thread.
Gosh, I just go to the local industrial sewing machine shop, and ask for a roll of black nylon thread!
It is actually called upholstery thread. It's commonly available and you'd better have teeth like a horse or good scissors handy 'cause you'll never break it by hand.
