Got ya, I don't see much difference and at times I vary the braids depending on the wear and memory of the cord.Yoyoman, your vt in your video is a french tresse. The difference is that the top side should cross under the bottom line on the second to last cross. It doesn't seem like much but it is a lot safer IMO.
Do you think it varys between arborist rope and climbing rope or is it the same?
Your question show you don't understand enough about rope and hitches to ask a good question on the subject.
I dont use arborist rope. I use rock climbing dynamic rope and it works just as well. You should try the Sterling evolution kosmos rope. Its 10 mm i think rated 8.8 kn and dosent have much give so when i do unsecured footlocking it dosent let me bounce on the rope unless i fall.
Are you using a friction hitch to rappel down a single line?

Ya i like to use the blakes hitch most of the time but when i used 8.4 climbing rope the hitch was melted in half. I switched to a sterling 10 mill and i use a rappelling device now
No. I use DdRT with a blakes hitch. When i come down i use a rappelling device. The petzl verso to be specific
