What do y'all think the best knot is to tie a braided line to a swivel?

I prefer a uni-knot, but a palomar is good too

X2 on the Palomar knot. Easy to tie and very strong.

Palomar and Uni knot are the only ones I use. I have used palomar on Heavy mono up to 150 lbs.

I use a few knots.
Line to hook is always a Snell Knot.
Line to a swivel or lure eye is a Palomar or a Fishing Fool Knot (basically a uni knot with an extra wrap around the eye).
Some lures and Jigs will get a Uni - Loop knot.
Line to leader knot is usually a Slim Beauty knot, although sometimes a double uni with Fluoro or an Alberto.

Palomar x 100!! The line will break before the knot.
