I've been reading through some of the very long sticky threads about whoopie slings. I seem to see about an even amount of people using the Amsteel 1/8" vs the 7/64ths. Am I correct that the issue is more the number of strands (12 vs 8 if I understood correctly) than in the additional 1/64"?

Since I am getting ready to place an order for some to convert my hammocks to a whoopie system, which of these two sizes do people seem most happy with?

Is Amsteel Blue still the generally preferred choice among those in the know for making whoopie slings?

Thanks.
