Dropper loop problems?

[dmrides]

Do you push the loop through the eye and over the hook? Or tie the hook to the dropper loop?

When I do a dropper loop, I use a 4 turn surgeons knot for the loop and a palomar to tie the hook on. Haven't had one break off on a fish. As mentioned before, a 3 way swivel is also a great way to avoid most dropper loop problems.
