Steel you want as short as possible because it's so visible.
Fluoro you want as long as possible because it's almost invisible.
I normally tie about 6-8' of fluoro (using a double uni knot) to my line. It gets shorter as I change lures or the leader gets knicked so I cut some off the end.
I haven't found any 30-40lb fluoro but when I do, I'll be using that for pike / walleye. I've landed plenty of mangroves jacks, barracuda and estuary cod on 40lb fluoro leader and they have teeth to rival pike and live in a barnacle and oyster encrusted environment.
