I typically use crazy alberto knot due to the ease in tying and I like to start with a 4 foot leader. I actually prefer it a bit shorter, but the extra length allows for a few cuts and re-ties. I'm kind of lazy and hate tying braid to mono.
I also put a few feet of mono backer on my reels that are spooled with braid. Probably not even necessary anymore, but that's what everyone used to recommend back when braided line was a newer thing.
