Carrick bend
I am disappointed that the carrick bend did not get evaluated as it is perhaps the strongest bend to use when attaching lines together and I have used it many times without failure. This bend is easy to tie and easy to break loose even after a really strong pull and shock load.
To be sure this bend is not to be trusted below water if it will be pulled and loosened and banged around without first fastening the bittern ends to the working parts, a minor inconvenience when considering that if one must join two lines together without splicing when needing maximum strength.
