I think the needle size and yarn weight are more important than the stitch type. Different sizes of either dramatically change how the stitches look, how they lay down.

What does sl1 mean in knitting?
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.

What is the best knitting stitch for Lionbrand Homespun Yarn?
With Lion Brand Homespun yarn, it is best to use a simple stitch, either garter or stockinette, due to the fact that, as a textured yarn, fancy stitches would be unappreciated and awkward-looking. It is a very beautiful yarn that is gorgeous in both garter and stockinette, especially if both stitches are used in the same piece. (Example: if doing a hat work a 2-inch brim in garter, and do the rest in stockinette.)

How can you make a stitch in knitting a not make a hole?
The best way is to knit the bar between the stitches. This is known as a 'bar increase', and there are how-to's and videos online. If you pull your knitting apart slightly, you'll see a bar just beneath the point on the needles where you are knitting. Put your right needle under this bar, lift it up and put it on your left needle. Knit it as normal. Ta-da! Now you have one more stitch.
