I'd go with the 80 lb leader for abrasion resistance, as far as the leader being stronger then the braid and fear of losing a bunch of braid in case of a hangup the 80 lb would be more abraision resistant, easier to change a couple times a night when it gets nicked up and the weakest part of the setup is going to be the knots between the braid, swivel and mono so that will break first.
