To tie line to the spool arbor I usually take two turns around the spool, tie a uniknot, and slide it down tight. If you haven't loaded line on a spinning reel before, check with someone who has. Depending on the size of the line spool, line twist can mess you up.
Use whatever knot is easiest for you to tie, and which will snug down to the arbor when you tighten it. If a fish takes you down to the knot, it really isn't going to matter much--you'll never see that fish
FWIW, I use a uni-knot.
