The best string for glowsticks in my oppinion is shoelaces but this is entirerly your choice so go with whatever feels comfortable.
With the products here at HoP I would suggest some commet poi as these will help you to keep your planes stable. As you progress and gain confidence, I would sugest changing to sock poi (socks with tennis balls) but again your toys are your choice and you should spin with whatever feels comfortable.

In my opinion, the best string to use, are the shoeaces that are designed for inline skates. They are totally round like a circle, and stop your fingers getting blisters so quickly as thin string does.
Or, get really flat, wide shoe laces (for the same reasons).
Whatever you choose, go for what feels most comfortable to you.
I would say that there is no right or wrong answers, but suggestions of" barbed wire" would be a very stupid idea!

You are most welcome, sir
Yeah, fishing wire would hurt, unless I suppose, you are using 100lb line
Then again, fishing line does have the advantage of being totally invisible
