I agree.
If in your case the weld blemish isn't an issue, then use the size you like. I would recommend that you get some 14 or maybe 12 AWG wire, both are plenty stiff, and much cheaper than 8 AWG RadioShack wire. If you have an available thru hole on your work, you can add another wire to stabilize it, this is what I do on AR-15 lower receivers (0.56 Sq. Ft. surface area). This second wire has no electrical purpose and doesn't need to be welded. A nice loose loop or hook will do the job. If it's loose fitting it won't interfere with the anodizing or dyeing.
