Favorite Fluorocarbon?

I have a quickie question. What is your favorite Fluorocarbon leader and why? (Sorry...2 questions!)

I've been using Triple Fish for years but it seems to becoming harder to find. Seaguar seems a little pricy. What are the differences between them, other than price? (Ok...that makes 3....I'm done now )

Thanks ahead of time!

Orvis Mirage. It is the most abrasion resistant of the leader materials I have used, IMO.

Ahhh...maybe I should clarify, this leader is for jigging and spinning combos...does the mirage come in spools or is it just tippet material type flyfishing stuff?

Sorry

orvis mirage, holds up great and is cheaper then seaguar, also you get 40m ( seaguar 25m?)per spool and only $16. They dont get more $$$ as the lb test goes up too.
