Default Tapered Leaders

As above, what would you consider to be the best Tapered leaders. In particular the 2 dropper variety and why!

Seen a friend of mine fishing with a tapered leader last week, albeit for Salmon, but the cast unfurled effortlessly and I was very impressed. So thought why not personally use them for my trout fishing.

Thanks in advance

Leeda tapered leaders are brilliant, I like both the 9' profil double tapered ones and the 15' selecta cast. I've got some for sale, shameless plug!

I also like the varivas leaders, more expensive but the turnover is superb. For me the varivas ones are my preferred of all I have tried I think, they really do have no memory at all after a stretch. Gave them a thorough test on a few lochs this weekend, the standard ones at 12' were excellent in all wind conditions.
