On FC line. I just counted my rigged personal rods and reels in my store--34, my truck, 6, and my boat, 8. That's 48 rods, including fly rods from #2 to #16 (I like tuna on the fly), and 2lb. test on a spinnning rod to 135 lb. test wire line (for largemouth, actually). I have FC line on only two of the 48 rods, 5lb. on my squid rod, and 25 lb. on one of my 9 big bait rods. Like anything else, it is not a cure all for everything, and you should experiment to see what fits your particular fishing style. I have been using 20 to 30 pound Cyperplex for my suspending big baits. This line is neat because it is a nylon/fluoro mix that eliminates the knot worries. You think fluorocarbon is spendy--the new line I am playing with for big bait fishing retails for $300 (three hundred) for a mere 100 yards. It is surgical grade titinium alloy, and you can tie regular knots with the stuff. Should last for years.
