Floss v fine sponge

[Country joe]

Happy Xmas all, I've decided to clean my Fluval 107 every 2 months. I've been told the bottom tray that holds the fluval black sponge should either have floss or a fine sponge on top, I'm sure the floss would improve water clarity, but would the fine sponge also, as I'm only going to clean every couple of months would the fine sponge be a better idea.
Only going for 2 months as I cleaned it after 1 month, and sponges were not to bad, so two months would be better.

Floss catches finer particles which is great for water clarity. However if your tank is dirty often it will clog faster than a fine sponge, which can be an issue if maintenance isn't done often (reduced flow rate for example). I only really use floss on new tank startups, and then after 2-3 weeks, I switch to a fine sponge.

Floss as you call it is the same as a water polisher. Only it can get the finer particles.
