Depends on what I'm doing ......
I run braid almost exclusively (except on my ultralight gear) and use a swivel to a fluorocarbon leader to eliminate line twist.
I will tie on flys, jigs, buck tails, circle hooks, drop shots and other fine presentations.
For cranks and spoons (in order to change up quickly and where spooking isn't a big concern) I use a swivel snap.
Pike, of course, requires a steel leader or heavier fluorocarbon leader.
