Bosal Hackamore VS Rope Halter! Advice?

I am a pleasure rider with a 6 year ancient paint gelding. He rides perfectly with a bit but I occasionally like to ride him with just a rope halter (tying the lead rope around his neck for reigns) when I ride bareback. He isn’t as “obedient” with the halter but I prefer it to the “strain” of the bit. So I am looking into buying a bosal hackamore that I can use instead of the rope halter, and even for trail rides. So I really have like no thought what I’m getting for myself into so I know you can get a bosal or just a hackamore…. what’s the difference? Also I am looking at the headstall with the pigskin nose piece, but will it rub his nose? I’m assuming that is why the fleece is an option. But any information I am grateful for! HELP!
I’m generally looking for something that gives me more control than the rope halter without a bit. And is used with reins like a bridle.

Any ideas?
