I just buy the smallest stuff I can find, it's the same cost per pound
generally. Somewhere I have a roll of heavier stuff for big connections
but usually I'm too lazy to go dig it out and just feed in a bunch of
thin stuff.

In the UK the most common size for leaded is 1.2mm and it's vastly cheaper
than the smaller sizes. One quick comparison gives a 500 gm reel of 1.2 at
12.70 gbp, and a 500gm reel of 0.6 at 32.25, from the same maker
