I’d venture that braid is always going to “bite” into the flouro/mono, where your hook end is being tied to a smooth, round piece of steel. Testing has always typically shown that the Palomar knot is one of the strongest (if not strongest) fishing knots, I’m not sure where the uni would stack up against the other two though.
I also like braided line with a leader because it allows you to take advantage of the braid’s sensitivity and casting distance, while keeping a lower visibility from the fish’s perspective. But I will say that fishing around the Trestles, I’m usually throwing 100% flouro for the reason you mention and for getting the jig to the bottom faster.
You could try the FG knot, it’s supposedly the strongest braid to flouro knot, but it takes longer to tie than a double uni.
