Are you aware of the risks of surviving and being paralyzed by hanging?
Not to be grim, just to say most people choose other methods for good reasons, and I want to make sure you have every chance to be safe.

I advise again long drop because there is no evidence that breaking your neck causes instant loss of consciousness or death. I'd go with regular suspension. The rope I suggest using (for suspension hanging) is 12mm braided polyester rope.

You want shirt/no drop.
Double braided dock line is great. Strong and comfortable.
