Bob, the flouro I use is actually stronger than mono of the same diameter.. but I agree most of the flouro on the market is brittle with poor knot strength..

You can use it with high floating dries. It is a bit denser than water so you have to be careful dry flys. Also it's strength is less than mono of the same dia.
