I usually just go with the rio tapered leaders-- most commonly 9' tapered to 5X. Then I add a couple feet of 5x or 6x tippet depending on the conditions and size of fly. These last me for awile because I carry 3 sizes of tippet on my lanyard and another 4 sizes in my fanny pack, and I'll just rebuild on the same butt section after the occasional leader disaster. I always use blood knots for my connections (I can tie a blood knot in seconds).
