The biggest difference between knots is how much strength they cause your line to lose. As the knot is being cinched down it rubs against itself flattening, fray, even slightly cutting the line. Some knots are worse about this than others. Seems like the cinch knot retains around 80% line strength but I’m pulling that from memory.
