I think you will find generally braid will be used as a backing on most saltwater reels. Braid has no memory, does not degrade as fast as mono, gets you way more capacity, and can allow you to change your Topshot to suit the conditions. Now the next question you should ask is how much Topshot do you want to use. A longer Topshot gives you some stretch prevents cut offs from line tangles and in you do get into a tangle or birds nest and have to cut you will only be loosing your Topshot not the backing. Then it comes down to what kind of topshot. Some people like to fish just a fluro leader of 3 to 5 feet some will run 25 to 100 yds of mono. Either way fluro can save the day when the fish are shy or you want to use more abrasive resistant material. Learn some solid knots to connect different diameter lines use a Braid backing so u don't have to waste money on changing out 350 yds of mono that you really only have 100 to 150 yds in the water being fished and go from there. Good luck...
