I'm a newbie building my first hammock, gathered end, 2 layer... I'll sew channels in the ends to run cord through, just to help make a 'ball' for the whipping (not to hang the hammock directly through).

The question is, what cord/rope do you guys recommend to whip with? I have some Amsteel in 7/64" and 1/8", Dynaglide, and 550 paracord, etc.. Do you recommend something more "string-like" or a "light rope" ? Would it be better to be something less slippery than dyneema?

Looking forward to my first hang... Thanks!
