I use it all the time on anything that I would use heavy line (15lb and up) with like reaction baits but, only when the water color is stained or muddy. I use only Super Braid and no less than 65lb. I have used others and and I like the cheap stuff best. Super Braid is very limp and thats why I use the heavy test. I have broken rods with it but so have I with copolimer line too. I've only broken one on a hookset, the rest were due to abuse(pulling too hard when hung up). The guides/level winds on any decent rod/reel will withstand long term braid use. I've noticed that most of the cheap one's will do too.

Advantages: super sensitive, needs minimal hook set (0% stretch), casts very well, very strong, long life, and it floats. IMO, it's more abrasive resistant than any other type line too.

Dis-advantages" ": very visable to fish, can be too strong when hung, can only be tied one way(that I know of), and you have to use something to cut it after you tie it. (I usually bite off the tag end of a knot with any other line).

Some of the pro's and con's of braid depend on what test is used but, for what I use, that is all. Any other attribute I can think of would go with any line. I've never used it on a spinning outfit, like those yankee's do, either.

IMHO: I wouldn't recomend it if you fish clear water alot. I would highly recomend it if you fish in stained or muddy water.
