Cordage - 3 strand vs Braided Dock Lines

Braid has a nicer "hand" but I like 3 lay because I know how to splice
it. You can splice eyes in braid but it is a lot harder to do and I am
lazy. ;-)
I really don't have a problem with splicing either one. Of course my
ways may be crued but efficient. Tie on the eye or clasp. make a
couple loose knots taking the remainder of the line and threading it
though the knots. Pull tight, then wrap the knots in duct tape.
simple!
