Default Fish net experts?

I'm interested in purchasing a new fishing net and noticed two that differ
than the nylon one I have, the catch and release fine mesh net and the
rubberized net. Any recommendations on either of these two?

For fly fishing I've got a beaughtiful wood net with a fin nylon mesh. It
does a wonderful job, but it does tangle fish spines, hooks etc.

For bassing (from my boat) I have a cord net that feels like poly. It works
well and does not seem to tangle hooks too badly, but it does tanglke some.
I've also got a soft nylon net. It tangles hooks very badly. I also have a
rubber net. Even though it has a smaller hoop than the other two it is
heavy. I can not easily one hand it when landing fish by myself.

The heavy poly cord (I think its poly cord because its stiffer than I expect
nylon cord to be) is probably the best comprimise as it is light and strong.
It's also got a huge hoop so I can swim a fish into it more easily when
fishing solo.
