Strip: best knot for deck lines and soft pad eyes

Hi everyone, I have finally had a chance to spray the auto clear on the guillemot (turned out great only two runs nothing to fret over!).

Now I am working on attaching the deck lines and bungees to the soft padeyes I installed yesterday. Question is what is the best knot to use for the 3/16 deck lines in order to attach them to the soft padeyes? I am looking for something low pro and attractive, that won't come untied. While I am at it what is the best knot for tying the bungee (also 3/16) together?

I will post a pic of the cleared yak when I get my camera (left it with the boat) Thanks in advance
