The plastic ones work well and seem to hold up in the weather I've encountered. They have a nice single hole that will handle the beefiest rope.

I've used both window sash weights found at garage sales and homemade 
weights made by filling a 1 quart waxed cardboard milk or juice carton 
with concrete.  Complete it by sticking a three or four inch eye bolt 
with a nut and large flat washer into the concrete.  Hold the eye bolt 
up across the rim of the carton with a couple of pencils until the 
concrete cures.
