Reels give you the size of the line so that you don't go over that specified to work well with the line. Braid is smaller in diameter that mono, so if you chose you can use a higher pound test on that reel with braid.
I use a heavier line sometimes for certain types of fishing. Flipping I will use it, areas that have alot of rocks so it won't chafe and break as easily. It's not about the drag, it's about not snapping the line. If I'm casting for stripers and they hit hard, braid won't give like a mono. So I use a bigger test.
This is just my experiance, so try what ever you feel comfortable with.
