Rubber type nets are the only way to go. I have two, a long handled boat net and a smaller creek water type net. Both are the black rubber netting, they didn't have the clear netting when I bought mine. If I was going to buy a new one it would be the clear rubber type net. Many of the guides I use have gone to the clear net and those that have not plan to when the net wears out. They are much easier on the fish, hooks don't hang up and they don't smell of fish, which is nice when you toss the net into the back of your rig.
