I use braided now .. just started this year with it.. and will never go back.
its like silk and a pain in the ass sometimes...
but it don't break and I have lost a few 60lb blues on the 20...
but have landed a lot of 30 to 40lb blues on the 20.
the knots are different and you can't tie the old mono or filo with braid.
but it's tight and and powerful.
that cat that broke my 30lb braid had to be 50 to 70lb blue cat at the river. the same day that happened a 68lb blue was caught.
its not impervious to breaks but is beats mono and fili anyday.
just my two cents.
just be prepared to deal with silk small line and sometimes it will get on your freaking nerves....
