Default Which knot - braid to shock

What type of knot do you guys feel is best for tying your shock leader to your braid? I've been using a modified Albright knot aka Alberto knot and I take great care in tying it. I also make sure I don't cut the tag ends off too close to the knot. However, once in a while the knot will come undone but fortunately never while i was fighting a fish. I assume the knot gets loosened by repeatedly going through the guides. Has anyone had similar problems with this knot or others?

Thanks,
Paul Haertel
