With both of you using a 5 foot tippet, the visibility of the furled leader probably doesn't matter. I have frequently fished with a sinking line and a 4-6 ft tippet and done fine, and I know that my sinking line is way more visible than a furled leader.
I would guess pretty much what FG said, that the floro leader and tippet combo were holding your fly out of the prime zone.
Maybe just test the furled combo and the floro combo off the end of a floating line to see their individual sink rates.
One other factor is smell. Girls smell better than guys! [cool]
