I use the PE but have never used the ester line. I also never tie braid direct to any of my jigs as braid has very low abrasion resistance. Sandpaper teeth like a crappie and bass have will cut through small braid quick. I use a double uni knot to join the braid and leader. And the lure I use dictates what leader is used. Floating or close to surface or real shallow I’ll use mono as it floats better than flouro, and deeper presentation gets the flouro. Line shy also gets the flouro. Good luck with it all.
