Default Joining Leader to Main Line

There has been discussion on this board before on which knot to use when tying a leader. The popular choice was Uni to Uni but I believe there are other knots out there that may be as good or better with particular leader/line combinations. I have recently changed 2 reels over to PP and lost several baits from failure of the braid to leader. If you use the Uni-Uni, how many wraps with the braid and how many with the leader and what size?
I am going to experiment with the Albrite knot on the reel with braid since it is primarily used with swim baits. It hurts too much to see a brand new Fat Boys sailing into the lake with no line attached. Will be using mono to floro until I can figure out what I am doing wrong and tying a double surgeon's knot.
