I use a uni-knot for everything except dry flies on light tippet. Then, and only then, I use a simple improved clinch. To connect braid to mono, I double the braid and tie them together with uni-to-uni, and pull them together. I double the braid with a bimini twist if using very heavy leader with light braid, like in saltwater. Never had it fail. Never have been a fan of the palomar. It is said that if you tie a lure or hook directly to braid, then the palomar is the one. I always use a leader, so that's a moot point for me.
The uni knot will do anything, and is superior to a blood knot.
