I also use a 20 or 30lb braid when going for pike. While I have lost a few lures through the years the vast majority of the time there is no problems. The ones I do lose are always just a quick tug on the initial strike. I don't think it's a problem of their teeth sawing through the braid but rather when they hit at the head.
For me the extra feel and the ability to get a fish out of the heavy weeds make it a no Brainer to choose it above mono. Since I know I will always tie on a spook at some point in the day I almost never use a leader unless there is a chance I might get into a muskie.
