Default Best Nut Width and String Spacing For Build?

I have obtained an unfinished build that was begun in the 1980s. It was built by a retired Martin employee. It is a 00 sized body with Brazilian back and sides. There is a Martin built slot head 12 fret neck that is unattached, with a truss rod slot and an unglued 24.9 scale Brazilian fingerboard. I would like to get opinions on what the most popular nut width and string spacing for this style guitar would be. Also the style of bridge. The current width of the neck blank at the nut is right at 2 inches, so I have quite a bit of leeway there. Also any advice for fingerboard inlays. I don't plan on binding the fingerboard, but am open to suggestions. Thanks for any advice!
