Best Knot for Braid??

I'm a big fan of the uni knot for all lines, including braid!

Well I hardly ever tie braid straight to the lure, but when I do I use the improved clinch or the rapala knot. I make some extra twists in the line though (usually 6 to 7) and they hold just fine.

When I tie braid to flouro (90% of my fishing is done this way) I use the Alberto Knot. Works great and once you learn to tie it, it's quick. A lot of people screw it up and wonder why it fails on them. You have to remember which way you started the knot and do the opposite at the end AND you have to make sure none of your twists jump or it will cut itself.

Palomar won knot wars last year on everything.  It works for me, have not had a reason to change.
