50lb braid is way too heavy imo. I use 30lb on my frog rod and fish some serious cover in the summer. 10-20lb on everything else. I have never broken a fish off on a leader knot, and when I break off on snags it is rarely at the leader knot, it is generally at the bait. I use a uni to uni knot for the leader and a palomar to the bait. If you are not using a leader with the braid, be sure to use a palomar knot, as many other knots will pull through.
I don't care if anyone else uses braid, it is all preference and what type of waters you fish.
