Hey Peter! Send an email to Ben at Ropes of Scale. He'd be happy to explain the difference. He is awesome. Nice guy with a great company.

I have just been getting the regular polyester and haven't had any issues.
 
I've never used polyester thread, so I can't really comment on it. I make my own ropes using cotton thread. If you're going to use cotton rope you may need to run it through beeswax to keep the rope from looking fuzzy, that's what I do.
