How much leader do you guys tie on your braid on spinning tackle?

I have been using braid with a fluorocarbon leader on all of my spinning and most of my baitcasting setups since last summer. After some experimentation, all of the leaders are the length of the rod plus a few inches to ensure the main line/leader knot is not on the spool and is between the spool/first line guide when casting.

Initially, I used a uni/uni knot for the main line/leader, but my experience was that the knot was too large, especially for smaller guides, and did not provide consistent knot strength. The knot that I used after that was the Stren knot (uni/improved clinch), which results in a much smaller knot and retains close to 100% of its strength.

Another knot I have been experimenting with for the past few weeks is this version of the Improved Albright. The knot is just as small as the uni/improved clinch and appears to retain 100% of its strength consistently. Last weekend I got snagged a couple of times and straightened the hook when getting free using 16# braid/12# fluorocarbon leader. That experience has me changing all of the my leader knots to that version of the Improved Albright.
