Rope and knot suggestions

[forgotten33]

Hello everyone. I've been on this site off and on for a while now and by no means am a pro navigating the threads so I apologize if this has been asked before. Does anyone have a rope and know suggestion for full suspension hanging? I have a floating staircase that will support the load but am curious what rope to buy and what the most effective knot is. Thank you.

I know the best knot to do is a slipknot. I think any ligature that is strong but too elastic will work.

I hadn't explored it too much, because I don't like the idea of hanging, but would one knot like so be good enough, do you think: https://www.animatedknots.com/noose-knot would work? I saw one person on here who said they tried the slipknot but preferred the noose knot. I have a noose knot, and lemme tell you it cinches in real good. But idk if it will hold. Seems like it will but also when I see nooses they usually have all those circles and are super thick going up.

Also just off the cuff do you know if thickness of rope matters? Mine is only a quarter of an inch, but it feels good. Is it better to have a thicker rope? I ask just because I'm lazy, I know you know stuff, and I'm gonna get to looking at the hanging thread more later to expand my options.
