Rich,
>From my own "forever ongoing upgrade" experience I'd go with the longer
winding to keep the distance between the top terminal and the primary as
large as possible. (To keep  strikes from the top terminal to the primary to
a minimum).
I don't know if 1/2  pound of wire is enough.

Good luck,
Jon Rosenstiel
