Another Line Question

As a rule of thumb I fish all of my baits with a treble hook on mono fishing line. I think most experienced anglers are in agreement on why you need to use mono for cranks. More and more I'm reading where guys are using braided line for their topwater baits. If you use mono for cranks because it helps absorb the shock of the strike and helps keep you from ripping the hooks out of the fishes mouth when setting the hook why doesn't the same rule of thumb apply to topwater baits with trebles? What about jerkbaits? Does the same rule of thumb apply as it does to cranks? I realize and understand why some guys are now using flouro to fish cranks. For all of you that fish mono for cranks but not your other treble hook baits what is your reason or justification for doing so?

Thanks!
