Depends on who I'm building for, as there are many things such as frets which I consider of minor consequence; too minor for me to impose my will! Personally, I am a big fan of Jascar EVO frets, and all of my recent work uses their #74 (I think) which is a medium wire .080 or so wide by .038 or so tall.

I do still have several guitars worth of the wire that was used in the '60's which is quite malleable, yet out wears the modern nickel/Silver wire by several times. It is quite difficult to impossible to install them flat enough for modern tastes, however, and I expect to die with the same amount I have now.
