I would avoid Essex wire and, if at all possible, wire that has been 
re-spooled (this means buying large spools, 80+ lbs), and would recommend 
Dodge-Phelps magwire.  I've gravitated to exclusively using Heavy Duty 
Armored Polythermalize magwire, also referred to as high temp wire.  I've 
gone the cheap wire route and got sick and tired of saving a few bucks a 
pound to later lose hours and hours of labor due to the poor quality of 
much of the cheaper wire in the marketplace.  You can contact Dodge-Phelps 
directly and they'll hook you up with a distributor.
