And, what is bead is preferd when used with a peep sight? A bead? A square (Sourdough)?

I like this one, an NECG ramp, windowed hood with fiberoptic bead. The band is probably stronger than the ramp. The sight slides into a slot in the ramp and is blocked by a spring loaded plunger. The hood slides into a groove from the rear and is secured by backing out an Allen screw. If you look closely, you can see the Allen screw.

I can see the fiberoptic bead very well. It works for me with a peep or open rear sight. Years ago I preferred the Sourdough, but with the passing of time, I can see the fiberoptic bead better.
