Mono-basically a nylon thread. Has a lot of stretch which makes it good for crankbaits and spinnerbaits acting like a shock absorber.
Flourocarbon-has the same light refractive properties as water, which means it is invisible in the water. Less stretch than mono and sinks. Is also stiffer than mono. Braid-just that-a braid of smaller fibers. Usually made of spectra fiber, which has no stetch and is extremely strong for it's size. Floats pretty well but really shines in the real thick/heavy stuff. Great for those baits you have to make an active hookset like a worm or jig.

I use three lines:
Green Trilene XL Seguar Carbon Pro Flourocarbon Powerpro braid Mono will work as an all-around line just fine. I use it for cranks, spinnerbaits, topwaters, amd hard jerkbaits. Flouro I use for weightless soft plastics like a fluke or a senko-type bait. Braid I use for worms, jigs, and in real heavy cover.

I now some of the waters you fish in. I live in Southeastern ArkieSlaw. Give P-Line a try. Its a little more money but its a great line. It is a advanced copolomer line that tests out way more than its rating. 12lb test will actually not break till you get around 15-17lbs of load. Very good abraison qualities. Only thing I do have against the line is it does have a tendency to have memory but a good dose of Reel Magic cures that. Its also very sensitive. Just my 2 cents.
