Wow... GREAT write-up! I'll be bookmarking this one for sure!!
May I add - for those that will read this thread as well, that my preferred MONO line is Berkley - either XL or XT - in the green color. I fish a lot of farm ponds from a belly-boat, so the casts are short (mono stretch is less of a factor), and the "green" blends in to the "environment" very well.
Like you, I also use Power Pro and Suffix braid - especially for my "froggin'".
I've just started experimenting with fluoro... both as "just a line" and as a leader with my braids. For my farm pond fishing, the jury is still out on the "clear fluoro" vs. "green mono" for invisibility, but I DO like the low-stretch factor!
I haven't tried it yet, but have HEARD/READ that BPS makes an excellent, and competitively priced fluorocarbon line:
