Fret wire preferences

I'm about to do my first refret. So I measured the fret dimensions on my favourite guitar necks, and they are around 2.4mm wide and 1.2mm high. Which set me wondering what other people prefer.

    Tall and narrow.

    Which is also my preference for fret wire.

    ^ in the same vein ... I'm all for "Large" or "Jumbo". 

    Stain resistant is also good ... see table below.

    Tall and fat, think Miranda Hart and you're about there.

    I like "6105" or Stewmac #152 which is 2.34mm wide and 1.22mm high so pretty much the same as the OP.
