I've used braid almost from day one and rarely ever had any of those issues. Windknots come when you first spool it up or from gear/tackle that puts extra twist in the line. When first spooled, the braid will screw up until the line finds its happy place and length. Also never had a braid palomar knot fail. $23 for a 300yd spool of Powerpro on sale, line has been on there for 3 years with no issues with break offs and no concerns about it turning brittle.
At the canal, less resistance when jigging and can jig with less weight.
Best of all, my 30# braid with 8# diameter and no memory will cast significantly further than equivalent mono.
