When I'm going to be doing a lot of casting of irons I like mono for the stretch, and the smooth casts. If I'm going to fly line I like to use a 20 to 25 pound floro leader with 65# green braid. I do pretty much the same if I'm dropping to the bottom. Go with what you are comfortable with. It took me a while to really embrace braided lines. I loved them for bottom fishing, but wasn't comfortable with them casting. I soon got over that. Keep in mind that braid will cut your skin very easily if you're tying knots, or if you're trying to pull on it for some reason do be careful.
