I don't like bungees or anything elastic for anything more than a few pounds like clothes because sometimes it can be hard to tension. Rope can be easily tensioned with a trucker's hitch knot and then tied off regardless of the length. Another plus is that it will never snap back if it doesn't catch right.

Paracord and trucker's hitch would have been my suggestion also. The trucker's hitch is a very useful knot to know. I have not used the Nite Ize things.
