butt section to line - loop to loop (if the line has a welded loop. If not I needle knot the butt section on)
Butt to leader - Blood knot
leader to tippet - triple surgeons
fly to tippet - clinch or non-slip mono loop
droppers - triple surgeon tied off of top tag (if connecting to leader) or clinch knot to hook eye
FWIW, I always use a butt section. Even if the line comes with a welded loop. 14" or .022" maxima makes all the difference in the world in fly turnover when throwing dries, especially on big, windy rivers.
