As for brands, with mono type lines I go with p line usually. If I'm spooling fluoro like 4-8 lb test, I go with sunline.

With braid I use power pro super slick 8 in 15 and 20 lb for my plugging, top water and smaller swim baits and jigs. I tie a 3' 10-15 lb fluoro leader when using these set ups. For my heavier setups I'm usually using 20-60 lb sufix 832. In my opinion it's the best braid on the market when considering cost to quality.

For my fluoro leader I use seguar and have experimented with gamma. Leaders vary from 4 to 60 lb test depending on application.

Hope this helps.
I would see what works for which application. I have tried many. On 3500 sized reels or bigger, the pack thickens, but i have had bad eperiences on smaller. Dont go too big because the memory on a thick line will be a nighmare on a smaller reel. Power pro has tons of memory and suffix was like an auto nest. Even a thin fireline will cut into itself. If your targeting bass or bigger stick with at least 20... I prefer fireline. Smaller than bass i stick with flourocarbon.
