I guess you never been to Powell with flurocarbon. FC can go bad in a couple hours in a dry sun drenched climate. I've been using FC since its beginning. I rarely use anything else. I have found thru trial and error the FC is the best way to go. I don't use braids because our waters are way too clear. Mono is alot cheaper. I've use most FC's, but I'll probably go back to bulk spools of regular Vanish(cheaper). I do change line every 2 weeks on my most of my reels. And, before tournments or speical trips I'll change everything. We are talking something like 6 to 14 reels at any one time. Flurocarbon has always given me an advantage with plastics, espeically thru the ice. I won't use anything smaller than 6lb and heaiver than 10lb(mostly 8lb) while ice fishing.
