Flat web is more friendly on the body than round rope. Either is OK until its under tension. After that the rope will dig into your body. Similarly, a web harness is much more comfortable than a rope harness when going aloft. For just the part of the tether that connects the harness part to the boat, web is also better because it doesn't roll under your foot.
