I have had both Improved clinch and clinch slip with heavy braid. Especially on hard hook sets with big fish. A palomer with the loop passed through the eye twice will test at close to 100% with braid. An IC will test at 90-95% if it is well seated (which is harder to get with braid), but its failure rate when actually fishing and not just testing knot strength will be much higher because of slips
