Well, scientifically, we can say that fluoro is less visible than mono, because its refractive index is closer to that of water. What the fish see is up for debate, though.
One difference that may matter is that fluro sinks and mono floats. So I might tie on a fluoro tippet if I were fishing nymphs or wets, but I'd choose mono for fishing dries.
Knot strength, abrasion resistance, stretch, and impact strength are probably a wash, with each one's good qualities offsetting the bad.
