I bought those blade dancers on special at the fishing show last year because they were 3 for $10, but I haven't used them yet because they are very big (hook size looks to be at least 4/0)! They'd be good for larger pelagics (salmon, tailor). I have heard good reports about the blade dancers in the smaller sizes for trout.
I have used Berkly, Ecogear,Eco Products, Squidgy, and Juro SPs, but I do better using the Berkely minnows. I think it's the scent and the glitter they're covered in that make the difference.
As far as braid goes, fireline is at the cheaper end - the last braid I spooled up with was Fins PRT braid, $75 for 300m! Fireline is well worth the price, and majority of SP fishermen use it. Just do yourself a favour and get the tackle shop to spool it up for you, it will make a big difference.
