Uni.

Took me a while to learn how to get the line to consistently wrap neatly, but once I did I have not had any problems (that said, haven't managed to test it on really big fish, but I have on occasion been successful at getting hung up on the bottom/rocks, and when broken-off it has never been the knot...).

It's also a lot easier with braid than with mono. I usually run six turns for either and for the mono I use pliers on the tag end and something to hold the snap or swivel (e.g. nail or screwdriver shaft) with while tightening.
