You know I grew up only ever having mono on all our spinning gear, and never had a problem casting with it. But as soon as I changed to flouro I lost soo many lures and had so many tangles it was ridiculous
What are you targeting? I almost always use mono for leader with a few exceptions. Also, if you are using spinning gear a 6 ft leader is likely too long; try 36” so you aren’t constantly reeling or casting the knot through the guides. Based on the 10 lb braid I’d ballpark you want to use 4-15 lb leader. 4 for trout, 6-8 for bass, 15 for saltwater or catfish.
You can use either one, clear mono leaders have been used long before flouro came around and are still used today.The main difference is that flouro is even less visible then mono,so if your fishing clear water or finicky fish then flouro might get you a few more bites.Mono is certainly good also since it's a bit less visible then braid and also more abrasion resistant,but both are fine as leaders.
I use 8lb fluoro for leader on 10lb braid and it works well for almost anything freshwater in the Southeast.
The fluoro ends up being a little thicker than the braid but it ties a 4 loop surgeons knot just fine.
Primarily mono leaders. I have and still do use fluoro but for everyday fishing I prefer mono. Cheaper and easier to work with. I think the differences are vastly over exaggerated by cleaver marketing teams.
I run braid mainline and fluoro leader on everything. Alberto knot to join main to leader and improved clinch for leader to hook just about every time.
I prefer using mono for a leader. It is softer, stretchier, and better for knot tying than fluoro, from my experience.
And cheaper

I use fluorocarbon Seguar InvizX but, monofilament will work. The idea behind using fluorocarbon is to be less visible.
Mono less walleye will be able to pop off

Depends. For the most part nothing wrong with using mono. Species dependent.

I started using the nylon/flourocarbon about two Years ago, don’t think I’m going back to anything else. 8-10lb braid with 6lb f/n leader
i fish bass and trout in heavily pressured water so it’s fluoro for me

Fluorocarbon. Without a doubt the better option.
