Steelhead don't care about tippet, at least for swinging flies, so I stick with 8-lb to 12-lb Maxima Chameleon.
Also, consider in your fishing that fluorocarbon is much, much slower to break down than regular mono, and is therefore even worse for the environment. If you don't use/lose much, perhaps not a huge deal, but if you do, it's something to consider.
I'm happy with the Maxima for my steelhead fishing.--Bill
