I personally prefer to use mono, but I use rods with the braided line during all but the coldest months with all my customers because its easier for them to tell when they get a bite. If you're not totally tuned in to your line and lure every second of every minute, so tuned in that the rod and line become an extension of your arm and hand, or just lack a lot of experience with light-hitting fish vertical jigging, I'd say use the braid. Attatch a short peice of lighter mono leader to it so you can break that off when you get hung on the bottom instead of having to try and break the braid and leaving long peices of it in the water.
