Is there a preffered hook length that you prefer. Braid , mono, flouro?

I use mainly braid as a hook length, I just like the assurance that a hook length is as strong as it can possibly be within the style of fishing that I do.

I can honestly say in all the years of fishing i have had so much confidence using straight braid, especially sink link and dread to think how many fish i have had on it!  I believe it is better than snake skin and you can use straight braid in most situations and it does the job!  As for the chod rig i have only used a few times to know real success.  I guess everyone to there own!!
