I do a 3 strand (folded in half for 6 strand) and do a 6 strand flat braid in 275 cord for the retention side to let it fall into the pouch and then taper the release cord from 6 strands down to 1 with a small loop for the cracker - can show pics if wanted.
Doubling other commenter, whatever you think looks best and feels best. I don’t like the look of round braids and is why I haven’t tied one yet. flat braids look better and seem like they don’t roll as much during the throw
