What's you're go-to knot for connecting mono or flurocarbon to hook?

A while back (in 2006), I posted a comparison of the Trilene Knot with the Improved Clinch Knot. In my experience described therein, I found no significant difference in the two knots.

In addition, comparisons using different numbers of twists were made.

I got not comments at the time, but the post describes a way to compare knot strength between two different knot types on hooks (for your viewing enjoyment... ha ha... no one commented last time).

Cheers!
