Fished braid on my jig rods from the time fireline came out. I fished mono on trolling and nightstalk rods. I went to scoping and did braid with a flouro leader on 10-16ft rods. Scoping is pretty much all I do with the exception of a spring trolling trip with dad a time or two. Those rods still have mono. Fluoro on the long rods took away to tip tangles, and even after years of using braid, I can't tell a difference in bite detection. Some folks claim they can, but I can't. That said, I've got two 10ft rods I cast with, and I'm tempted to try mono on one of them, but the fluoro is working just fine.
