Thank you everyone.. Some differences in opinion here, but you've all been informative.

I use ultra green by maxima on my bait cast rod.  I primarily use this rod for drift fishing.  I wouldn't use a light braid line because, to me, it would be hard to work with.  If it's early morning and trying to tie a knot or in cold conditions just not the easiest to work with.  On the other hand I use a 30lb braid on my float fishing pole.  The diameter is big enough that it's easy to work with.  I only use this on my main line, where it's not going to get hung up, unless I cast into a tree!

I tried flurocarbon on my main line, a couple different brands, and it's terrible.  I do like to use it on my leader lines though.

Good luck with your decision!  Lots of great opinions on here!

I ended up putting Ultra Green 10# on the reel. The boy had some friends stay the night so I ended up fishing solo today.. With his new rig. Long wet day, but right about fishy supper time... This nice bright friend gave a good test to the light rod.  It performed well.  Bad cell phone photo, (raining, but the water was much more clear than the pic indicates) but that's all I could manage without dropping the phone in the drink while he was flopping and trying to spit the hook. He left the water once by his own accord.
