I would use a heavier thread so it has some strength for the bit of pulling and tugging you do. Say our 50/3 linen as an example or if you are using cotton, quilters weight.
Hi, once the button is complete I like to use several stitches to stitch it directly to the fabric, leaving a little space in the stitch loops so that I can then wrap the thread around the stitches and finish it off providing a short "shank".

What thickness thread would you recommend to use for making cloth covered buttons?

I would put some Fray check on fabric that will fray a lot.
You're choice. In the 18thc they actually did use a form of fray check when needed (gum tragacanth)
How do you attach?
