Your leaders? I'm running a split between the swivel and the hook, usually at a high tension point- what about you?
-
Right at the knot on the swivel attached to the main lines snap swivel...
-
Swivel. Or the teeth. ;D
That said, I've never rarely had a complaint about a leader breaking too easily, even though I know I don't use the best knots. I have only started using a palomar knot for my fluoro leaders, and always use a clinch knot for mono leaders.
-
Sometimes at the knot connecting the leader to the swivel and on the teeth of chum and springs.
Sometimes I get the odd break in the middle of the leader, kinda looks like the line stretched out thinner or the break is a sharp point.
Using a plain ol' clinch knot 90% of the time and never really had any issue with this type.
-
Typically somewhere in the middle and I use ordinary clinch knots.

Not improved clinch?
-
Swivel. Swivels tend to get smaller, wires thinner. Thin swivel wire makes for sharper bend on the leader loop. Sharper bends at the knots make leader weaker .

I'd say go with what you are most use to tying, most knots are good but I find that if I break off a leader, I just snip off the broken piece, take out a new leader and within seconds can make a clinch knot and be fishing in less than two minutes of breaking off.
