I would like everyones opinion on wich is better in terms strength, ease of tying, ease of untying, ect.
I am trying to find a strong and practical alternative to the popular Bowline.
For some reason, and I don't really know why, I just don't like the Bowline.
The Double Dragon and Perfection loop, so far, are the two best alternatives I have found.
You've told us nothing about your intended application (and nOne's asked).
Your photos show BWII, which could be for TR anchoring or caving, or ... ?
What do you have in mind?
It's also hard to work with
"some reason, ... don't know why" as a point of
departure in seeking alternatives. And yet you seem to know enough to be
quick to exclude any but the two you ask about! --for
some reason.
As Roo states, the Perfection/Angler's loop (#1017) will be prone to jamming
in rope. (To my surprise, I found one discarded Commercial-Fishing cordage
knotted w/these qua mid-line eyeknots.) The jamming will stand in contrast
to the Dlb.Dragon, and that might point to a chafing issue re the DD--since
the S.Part can move back & forth with cyclical loading. The DD looks good,
to my eye, for traditional (slow-pull) strength aspects. (On a 2nd look, maybe
the chafe vulnerability's not so bad.)
I think you have your choice in mind. I know of no testing on either of these
knots; and of the testings I do know about, I would mostly have more questions
than confidence in their results--seldom, if ever, is enough detail given to
enable someone to repeat the testing. I don't find your tying method all so
problematic, once you know what you're after; the initial two stages can come
error-free (vis-a-vis Roo's "which way?" re apparent insertion of end into loop)
by seeing the tying as slapping the end into the S.Part and making the impact
cast the loop in it; it's an easy way to begin anti-bowlines (it is the defining
aspect of the "anti-"--opposite the bowline's direction).
Elsewhere in this forum among recent threads are some regarding some
novel extensions to the bowline; you should review these for useful
information. (We are now a month plus waiting for the next installment
of test data from Agent_Smith--starving for it!)

You claimed that the Fig.9 couldn't, though the Fig.8 could, be tied around
an object: that's not true--EVERY eyeknot can be (though for some it might
be a difficult operation). I could even suggest a symmetric Fig.9 structure for
your solution, or an alternative Fig.8: see the white rope's eyeknot at this

and has not in a couple other places--; click the URL for that) :
