Ditto. The JC / RP is super easy to tie, strong and really small profile so it doesn't get hung up in the guides. My favorite for braid to fluoro or mono connections.

It appears that what ever name you use RP, John Collins, Modified Albright or Alberto knot, they happen to be the same knot. It is by far the easiest and strongest knot I have found and can be easily tied while on a kayak on the water.

Yes seems to be the same know. The John Collins apparently only uses 5 wraps making it even more compact.
