The wire choice really depends on how you are driving it -- with a small
neon, large neon, or potential/pole xmfr. A typical NST unit with a .01
MFD cap will usually work better with 24 or 26 AWG. If you or running a
pole unit then you should really be running a 16-24 inch dia. sec. coil
size as a minimum because you can use a larger gauge wire #12-#16 AWG and a
large cap such as .04-.05 MFD to match the load. Another consideration is
of course overall cost with large caps and large secondary toroids required
for an efficient match. Have fun with your design.
