All of the above, a good rope will help you progress better than a good board or even a huge wake. As Mark said, it helps you maintain control througout your whole ride. Line tension is what gives you pop, so you don't want to have the rope pull you off axis by recoiling. I would say invest in a quality rope and handle, nothing short of spectra, but a jacket line preferably. I got a jacketed mainline off of ebay for $40 and it was worth every penny. I would have paid double that if I would have known it would have helped that much.
