I don't use Snakeskin an awful lot these days, although a friend of mine has used it a lot for barbel fishing and swears it got him more bites than braid. It can be a bit fiddly due to the very fine strands but gives a very fine presentation if you persevere.
Snakebite on the other hand is one the best hooklength materials ever in my opinion (although the new Super Mantis is giving it as good run for it's money).
I use 15lb SBite for barbel and small carp and 25lb SBite for larger carp, I use them in both green and brown and haven't found much difference between the two results wise. The 25lb is one of the toughest hooklengths on the market (similar to Quicksilver in it's abrasion resistance) and the only one I will use whilst fishing for carp in the snaggy rivers in France, it is also the first choice of most of the French anglers we know as well), it is.
By the way don't be conned by any of the copies eg Fox, the Kryston stuff is far superior.
