I only use 50lb mono there. Doesn't seem to make a difference between mono and flouro there for me at night. Mono is cheaper so I stayed with it. Daytime topwater fishing, flouro may matter...

50lb Berkley Big game mono for all my ditch leaders. If you really think you need to spend the extra $$ on floro I'd reserve it for those situations where it could really payoff. (super bright moon at night/really picky fish on the flats or skinny water etc.)

Everybody has their own opinions on this, this is my humble offering.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I use flouro. Since I don't catch anything anymore spending lots of money on myself makes me feel smarter.

Nothing kicks the crap out of a leader more than jigging the Canal.

I use regular 40 or 50# Big Game mono.

If I used flouro I would probably spend close to $200 a year on leaders alone.
