Hello,
First, I can objectively state that the Wand is an excellent tool for this job. As for what size, it largely depends on what your other splicing aspirations are, as you could fit even our large Wand into that rope. So if, for instance, your running rigging was 1/2" or less, get a Medium. Call if you need more information.
As for lashing material, you just want something fairly UV-resistant, and suitably strong. Seine twine of a suitable diameter would work, assuming a suitable number of turns for the size. Or you can use fewer turns of skinny Spectra, which has the added advantage of not having scuffable tar on it. Whatever material you lash with, don't use the absence of turnbuckles as an excuse to be approximate with your measurements; approximate-length lifelines look awful.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
