I prefer braid. I do typcally use a leader, though. I like the additional length allowed, and the relative strength. The sensitivity is awesome as well. I make a wrap of black electrical tape on my spools which stops line wrap. I use Saharas and other Shimano spinning reels. Another thing, the drag has to be loosened with braid, quite loose. With no stretch, the hookset will jerk the fish's face off if you don't. There are some braids out there with stretch, but I know zero about them.
