Ja the only the way to know which knot to use is to go, practice till you you have each down, then tie the different ones and attach your trace to a "piece of reef" in your backyard or a tree, lock your drag and pull till something gives. Then work out what gives and what doesn't, use the knots that give on your sinker connections
and you will quickly work out which other ones work for you and are easy enough to use. I use total 6 knots now or variations thereof, for all fishing, braid, mono, handline (double overhand loop), tuna (rapala-centuari variation) and including for tying of sinkers (uni) and including the occasional stitch, 7 knots if you include the sabiki knot when i tie the coffee packet flies on a sabiki rig and that is about it..process of elimination and convenience. Hell I have been through a lot of knots in my fishing career but for most of my fishing I use variations of a centuari knot, for braid the FG in addition (I hardly even stitch a leader and prefer a long enough mono leader, mainly stitch to seamlessly join braid when spooling new topshot or such) and a weak 3 turn uni for sinkers.
After 20 years of not fishing too seriously I don't knot why it never occured to me to tie the knots and test them against each other..after one afternoon of that I dropped most of the knots I use.
Funny enough, even a double overhand loop to make a loop or double line was stronger than my bimini and others, every single time, even in braid where it was the strongest connection I found to a swivel or such much to my suprise. Never bothered to tie a bimini since haha and my commercial fishing friend had a laugh as he had been telling me the whole time that there is a reason they just use that simple knot. I was like the there was no way that kuk knot would be strong, but it was, it was the strongest simple connection for braid.. The only one stronger was FG to leader to clip/lure direct. Second best was double overhand loop to swivel to leader..just shows one, the only way to know is to go..tie and test. each person will tie their best knot their way so someones best best knot may not be the same as yours, to go is to know.
