Speculator Sam,
This topic comes up in cycles on the bboard, so you can probably find some passionate discussions in existing "threads". (Yes, intentional pun.)
When one of my favorite ligatures broke, I used cotton garden string. I wrapped it in such a way that it was easy to push off of the mouthpiece/reed, and (if held gingerly for a few seconds) easily slid back down over the mouthpiece or mouthpiece and reed. Worked great for a year or so - very consistent. Over time, I tired of the "...if held gingerly..." part, and picked up a metal ligature again.
I play jazz, and don't play much above G6 (in fact, I prefer not to play above F#6). As such, I've never found much difference in ligature(s) as long they hold the reed where I want it. The one exception was the old Harrison ligs - I did like them a lot.
