out of the two I would go with a uni knot.
I like FZ1's suggestion though. A Palomar knot would work better than either one of those.

I wanted one knot that was good with all lines. The fishin fool knot has filled that bill. No more knot failures with braid, florocarbon, or mono.

Palomar has been the #1 recommended knot for flouro since it became a popular freshwater line. Lots of other personal favorites will be posted but the palomar is the one recommended most.

I use Palomer for the simplicity.I can tie it easily. I am not in a very high percentage situation to catch bass over 5-6 lbs. and I never have any trouble.
I need to check out the San Diego Jam, the Fishing Fool, and the Alberto knots as well though.

Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

If you're not tying a palomar your giving away line strength. Best knot overall...hands down.

Palomar is actually the best knot. Many said it wasn't good. Knot tests have proven differently. The second knot I do use with it is a Uni-Knot. I haven't tried nor know how to tie the San Diego Jam.
