There's no shortage of opinions on this subject matter and IMHO, there is no best answer. I only suggest you do what works best for you. Having said that, here's what I do.

Light tackle spinning (shoolies, weakfish, blues)-Braid is fine and I prefer it.

Conventional/Baitcasting (eels/plugs) and looking for Large in the rocks -I prefer Mono (Ande Backcounry)

Heavier spin when hunting the big girls (eels/plugs) -I prefer Mono (Ande Backcounry)

I fish the rocks a lot, so for me it's mono over braid under those conditions. If I fished Sandy beaches, I might reconsider.
