MF casting,10lb Sufix Advance copoly usually, or any copoly you like. Braid gets fouled in the hooks too often for my patience when the bait lands, but I've used it plenty with jerkbaits and have adjusted my drag to compensate.

This has been my experience as well using braid and a treble hook 

I would go with M/M with Sufix Advance Hyper Copolymer 12 lb Test.

Would you prefer throwing jerkbaits on a M/F with mono, or a M/M with braid? 

Mono, anything with trebles and mono is peanut butter and jelly

I prefer mono with a jerk bait too. It’s the one application that is helpful to have some “give” when I’m constantly snapping the rod and all of the sudden there’s some weight on the end.

My favorite bait is a jerk.  Medium XF & 20lb Power Pro with no leader is how I fish them 90% of the time.  Never on spinning, never mono, and never a moderate action rod.  

My favorite jerkbait rod is my St Croix Mojo Bass 6'8" M/XF. It's a little lighter than the other St Croix mediums, so it basically bends all the way through but not too much at the tip. It's much easier to detect bites on a twitch than with a more moderate tip. And I use mono or fluorocarbon.
