I quit using mono years ago as main line. Now I use it as backing on my reels. Prior to that I was a very firm believer in P-Line CXX. Was given a roll by a friend when fishing the White River (Indianapolis). I kept breaking off jigs with Trilene 12lb. He was using CXX 12 and able to pull his baits free. Sold me there.
CXX has a special place for me...but Sunline Sniper has caught more fish for me.

Braid mainline to CXX leader makes fishing much more enjoyable. Be careful, as you will develop a habit of not retying; then when you use another line and forget to rety; you remember why you like to use CXX on everything (except really, really clear water and very, very finicky fish)

I used the Big Game Trilene for everything. Crankbaits, jjgs, spinnerbaits, etc. 12lb, but as strong as a 15. They also have very good knot strength.

I still use it on my bait casters and braid on the family coffee grinders. I've been using Andie for yrs but lately it's been hard to find.

Had my eye on the CXX. Next Academy or BPS gift card I get might go toward some new line to try.

I still use Big Game mono for top water. 12-15 depending on cover. I do use braid for frog fishing.
