I use the fg knot for all my leaders, but I only use braid mainline (30-65lb 8 strand) and mono leaders (20-80lb). It's by far the best 'knot' I've ever used for leaders, it's very strong and incredibly small, plus it's really smooth through the guides when casting/reeling in.

If I was using braid to braid, I'd be looking toward a uni to uni knot I think. That seems to be a very popular one with braid to braid users, though I do believe they double the line before tying or do alot more turns?
