I use the Duncan loop....also looks similar if not same as the uni-knot.

I use four loops and have not had failure. I stuck to learning it until I memorized it...it is a very versatile knot and is now very simple for me to tie. On the tippet I use, the loop closes. If I am using it with indicator setup, I open the loop again after landing a fish. for streamers I snug the knot against the hook. It slides pretty easy.
clinch knot has been unreliable for me so I use the Duncan loop 95 percent of the time. with mono tippet, the clinch knot is more reliable but I don't use it on fluorocarbon or small diameter tippet.
