All I ever use now is the polamer. Doesn't work well on 20lb mono.

Of all the knots i've tied in my life time, i've found the plain old improved clinch knot to be as good as any. I use that knot for most terminal tackle connections, up to around 50 lb pound line or so. When you get into the heavier fluorocarbon leaders, a clinch knot is incredibly hard to tie and be trustworthy.
for joining leader to main line, I always use an albright knot. Some people like a uni to uni knot, but if you're tieing two lines that have a dramatically different diameter, the albright is the better knot.
The polomar knot is also a great knot, as gdn pointed out. It's easy to tie, and works well for the heavier stuff.

I like the polimar and the snell knots.
