both perfectly suitable. i think flat braid is more prone to fluffing at the ends unless you singe it or otherwise seal it. I prefer 3mm because the slightly heavier weight and thickness seem to give a better lie when setting the net. 2mm can be a bit fast running, particularly on nylon nets causing handling problems. overall happier with 3mm.
