free motion quilting you use a quilting/darning foot and lower the feed dogs
a walking foot you keep the feed dogs engaged and do straight lines. you will break needles and have lots of other problems if you try to do free motion designs with your walking foot.

I use a lot of mercerized 100% cotton thread, but I love the sheen that rayon thread has! I think rayon is very pretty when you want to highlight your quilting...but rayon can be less than colorfast and may fade over time. They are making high quality poly thread that looks like rayon but holds up much better.
It's your quilt, use what you like!
