A if you want a really tight looking product
B is good too C/D/E if you have bad eyes Everything will work and hold the guides just fine. Strength is not an issue. And even the larger threads can look highly professional if you pack it well. Kinda "its up to you" thing. I prefer Plain thread to use on any thread that shows a lot but I also use plenty of CP. JUST a personal prefference. Good Luck. Re: Thread size

Addition to James' factual post: if the single wrap is on a **repair**, it may not be ecomical to remove each and every last molecule of older resin.
It does not compute to spend inordinate amounts of life-force in return for the (usually) small fee a repair nets....compared to a pristine new wrap on a new blank.. There may be slight humps, or imperfections remaining. Then, the thicker threads work very well, as they can be burnished and packed in, to mask the less-than-stellar section of the rod. Especially with no colour preserver, using dark threads, on a dark rod. The wraps want to "melt" into a nice job, where any imperfections are masked. Re: Thread size
