I just go all uni, all the time... usually the thing that fails aint the knot. if you tie any fishing knot correctly, it will work fine for fishing for stripers. tuna and big game are probably a different animal, but uni for me when im stompin around the cape
for freshwater I dont use a swivel just albright knot and a snap swivel. For salt I go line to barrel swivel, then 40# fluro or something similar, then tie the leader to fast clip. Which honestly im starting to lose faith in. Ive had a fish strike the plug, do a head shake and shake the plug right off the clip. I thought I broke it off or failed knot? No, leader and clip were still there. And this has happened not only to me but my friends as well. Im going to be tieing direct to the plug more often this season. Wish my tackle store had tactical anglers clips they have the little notch at the end where the knot stays put. I think a lot of the time what happens is the knot gets turned around on the clip and makes it easier for a jolt to send the plug right off the thing
