7/64 is plenty strong and is probably what most here use but if you are worried you could go with 1/8 inch. The JRB system is good if you do not want to DIY and saves money vs. buying the individual pieces.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Most whoopie slings are made from a dyneema cording (like Amsteel) and the splices de-rate the sling less than 10% of the cord's rating.
7/64" Amsteel is rated to about 1600lbs, and 1/8" Amsteel is rated to about 2500lbs
Either is more than sufficient for hammocks.
