FF401 - I like Sufix. I throw spinning gear for Senkos and use 30lb braid (8lb mono) and it casts the 4" baits very well. The 50lb Sufix braid I use for frogs on my casting gear is really smooth. The 65lb PowerPro I use on my Carolina rig rod is good too. It's as limp as you can expect from heavier braid. I really only notice some stiffness the first few casts. As soon as it get wet it's fine.
Not sure what you mean by general use. I personally would not throw braid for crank baits or spinnerbaits. If the rod is used for spinnerbaits, topwater, plasitcs then I would stick with 12-14lb mono or co-polymer such as Yozuri or Sufix. Flourocarbon and all P-Line sink so dont spool it if the rod will be used for topwater.
This is only my opinion. If you have a boat with storage for 30 rods and you can keep 30 rods on board then you can get very specific but if you use rods for multiple uses then you need to be more practical.
