Great chart, I use braid most of the year and see it has a high score in your observations. I do not use a leader, have no water clarity issues so visibility above the water of the yellow, pink, or white lines is the only factor I consider with braid. I have tried the Sunline Night Blue and like it as well, have it spooled up on the Daiwa Presso Ltd. 1003. I will be trying the Red Ester this winter when the Gills get back up in the creeks again. Fluorocarbon is not my cup of tea, not found any I like so far. I am saving the chart for future references.
