The knot shown on the back of toby box works well too, but i've had probs with cheap line too.

I rarely use more than two knots:

 

Grinner: 3 or 4 turn depending on line thickness or 6 turn for mono to leader knot

 

Improved albright: for joining mono/leader to braid

 

Just take your time tying them (it ain't a race), use plenty of lubrication (an aerosol cap full of washing up liquid solution or spit, if tying away from home) and use good quality line. I stick with Ultima trace body and Amnesia snoods for most of my shore & boat rigs and either Ultima flouro hooklengths or Berkley Vanish for lighter snoods.
