I use Spiderwire Stealth.
To greatly reduce the line from digging in the spool, I reduce the drag on my reel. Braid has little to no stretch, so a quick wrist snap is all I need to set the hook.

Suffix performance braid is way better than Power Pro to me. Way to many breaks offs w/ 50 lb Power Pro.

I like Power Pro on most of my stuff and P-line 30lb on my spinner bait setup.

I used some 50lb Power Pro today to pull in some limbs. No Fish, the fish came on a flippin rod with 20 Berkley Big Game. A line that is cheap and performs to my standards. I enjoy using it,

I am a big fan of Daiwa Samurai but I am ready to give the new LFT braid a go as soon as its ready.

I have used Power Pro and the only negative is it fades real bad. Have to keep a marks-o-lot handy all the time. Tried some of the new Spiderwire Fluoro-Braid, jury is still out. I would definitely go smaller than what I used to give it an honest opinion.

I've only used Power Pro. I can easily cast accurately and with distance. Plus, I've pulled up roots with the 20# test line I use.

6 of my 8 rods I keep on the deck have 50# Power Pro... it's all I use for braid! Tried a smaller diameter Spiderwire and got so fed up with it I cut it all off and threw it away and went back to my Power Pro. I routinely straighten jig hooks out when I get hung up, but I don't break off.

I made the switch from pp to suffix. Better smoother line imo.
