The xtra hair ones have a bit more backbone and are great for soaps.
For gluing the knot, devcon 5 minute epoxy works great. Also if the bottom of your knot is a little uneven sand it on a flat surface just enough to where you can set it in the handle properly.
Also be carefull on how much epoxy you use. If you put too much it will squirt up around the edges. A penny thickness layer across the bottom of the handle should be about right.
