My understanding is that knots don’t hold in Amsteel etc because it’s so slippery, so splicing is a must.
I’d have thought a quoted breaking weight would be of more use to a hammocker than a force in Newtons. 2600lbs is 1182kg which is more than enough for most people.
I prefer 3mm Dyneema as its less fiddly to splice and has less of a “cheesewire” feel to it than the thin stuff.
I think the ridgeline doesn’t need to be as strong as the end loops because you won’t end up on the floor if it snaps
