Ron Arra has a rule of thumb for shockers ... use 10 lbs of test for every ounce of plug you throw. For example, use 30 lb. test for a 3 oz plug, 40 lb test if you're throwing a 4 oz plug.
My favorite is Berkley Trilene or Berkely Big Game Supreme.
Make sure to wind three turns of the shocker around the spool.
There is an interesting low-profile knot I learned from Ron - it's essentially a uni. With the leader material, simply tie an overhand knot over the running line, and secure with a 4-5 turn uni.
