All fair points Rav. Like anything it just comes down to personal preference between fluoro and titanium. I will never go back to steel because I hate the way they twist and kink.
My personal preference is the fluorocarbon over the titanium. I don’t mind retying once or twice a day, but I also don’t use many hooks under 3” when targeting pike in the summer. I usually tie about a dozen and then just tie a new one on when needed and save the nicked up ones in a bag and when I’m at home with nothing to do I’ll snip off the terminal tackle and tie another dozen. I also like handling the fluorocarbon. It’s easy on the hands if you grab it and easy on the fish when they roll.
If you are pitching smaller lures or you detest retying once or twice a day then by all means go with the titanium. The titanium is more versatile than the higher poundage fluorocarbon.
Whatever you choose, good luck.
