Tedd,

The very best material would be broad flat copper band material.  Next 
would be copper tubing.  Third choice would be the outer shield of big 
coax such as RG-214. (you can connect or leave unconnected, the inner 
wire.) This last choice is more than adequate up to 5KW and looks good, 
too.  The transformer connections are not important.  They are not part 
of the tank.  I use simple neon sign HV wire for this.
