For connections, I go braid to mono leader (alberto knot) to coastlock snap swivel for the boat; substitute a breakaway clip for the surf.

I think the leader length would depend on the length of the rod. A 6 foot leader on a 7 or 8 foot rod would be difficult to cast from a boat (in my opinion); especially if using a swivel. From the boat for casting plugs I would go less than 3 feet; varied based on the length of the rod.
