Mono, Floro, Braid or Nano... Which ones are on your rods?

I gave up on mono a few years back and switched to braided (Berkley Fireline Crystal). This stuff is very tough although I've questioned its performance in comparison to Floro or Nano.

Your thoughts, comments & experiences?

I agree mono is old school, I am a big fan of braids soft or hard water, I also will use flouro leaders when needed! Good input snocone

I prefer flouro, I like the invisibility factor.  Anything that gives me an edge. :)
