Just buy a known brand to get the quality rod.. I use 1/16"
on everything... the -6 is just a bit harder/stronger but I
use -2 being that it will be a bit more flexible.. I have used
stainless before and it looks nice but didnt have the overall
strength in testing... I'll pay a bit more for a brand name just
to get good rod
EDIT
I have used .030 stainless mig wire on different stainless jobs
when its thin with my tig(I was welding race muffs for a company)
