@ Euclid... a lot of it is personal preference, but general principles are to look for knots that are reliably secure and use minimal cordage to perform the intended function (unless you’re being intentionally decorative). After that, you can also look at how easy it is to untie, which may or may not matter to you. But if you really want to learn knots, look at asemery’s posts
If you only ever learn one knot, you correctly chose the bowline. It’s secure, easy to untie, and uses the least amount of cord relative to other ways to tie a similar loop.
I prefer barrel knots instead of overhand knots for my release cord knots, because they don’t slip or change position as easily on slippery cords
If you want a good knot reference on your phone, download the knots3D app.
