Default Leader for dry fly

Dont want to start a debate as i am fully aware that the Fluro/Mono thing has been done to death on previous posts, just a straight forward question - What make of leader do you use when dry fly fishing on a reservoir in the uk? Many thanks in advance.

I use both Rio or Varivas tapered leaders as the foundation for both wet and dry fly fishing.
