When putting hexagons together, would you use HAND quilting thread or REGULAR sewing thread?

The HAND is thicker than REGULAR. Wouldn't it 'stick out and be seen' more.
I use 100% cotton REGULAR sewing thread for hand sewing hexagons together. I also coat the thread with wax to help it glide thru the fabric. If you thread the needle --- how to describe this --- the spot where I cut the thread off the spool is the end I tie the knot. So the thread knots up less when I sew. I hope this helps.
