You have to decide which is more important.

You tell me man? I mainly throw cranks, jigs, and topwater but I'd like to know what to use for various situations (heavy cover, c-rigs, etc).

I've purchased a couple of brands that I wasn't that satisfied with and thought I might ask around before I bought my next spool.

cranks - deep - 10 or 12 lb. Seguar InvizX
cranks - shalo - 15-20 lb. Seguar InvizX or Maxima mono 15-20.

jigs - 15-25 lb. Seguar Invizx light to moderate/heavy cover
jigs - 50-80 lb. Suffix 832 Performance - heavy wood cover or matted grass

topwater - always on Maxima Mono -lb test depends on cover/water clarity

c-rig - 15-20 lb. Seguar InvizX with same pound-test leader. Some guys fish braid for both flipping and c-rigs with a uni-to uni knot tied to a fluoro leader. I never do this, but that's just me. Nor do I fish a lighter leader so I can break off and save my weight, bead(s) and swivel.

I'm there to catch fish, not conserve tackle. That's why I have all that extra tackle in the first place.

Mono - recently switched to McCoy.
Flouro - Seguar 15lb InvizX.
Braid- Power Pro/ 832 ( not really loyal to either at this point)

I use Seguar about 99% of the time. Braid when fishing heavy cover or timber. Mono for top water.

+1 for Fouzman's advice above.
You could pick different brands but the line type and size for applications noted seem right on to me.
I kinda like good old trilene big game mono, seaguar invisx fluoro, and power pro or even daiwa samurai braid.
