What gauge Fretwire?

[JP Lace Master]

I have planned a new Canjo build. Big round tin for a body, a length of 2x2 for the neck and open G tuning, rather straight forward, probably the nearest I will ever build a CBG.

so for this build I want to do something I have never done before and lay some frets into the neck. I have a rough idea as to what I am doing on the actual laying of the frets into the neck, but I am confused over gauges and sizes of the fretwire.

So my question is what would be suitable for a CBG. the neck is going trough the body so, i'm thinking something that is sort of raised in its height, but again I am clueless on this, please help.

I'd go with medium which is what I usually do. Not too wide, not too skinny, just right. But I would also add its good to purchase a good saw that puts the right width slot to fit the tang of the frets.
