Anything that is at least the size as the existing wires is OK. If you're ordering it from somewhere it may be described as either:
0.25mm square (cross-sectional area)
7/0.2 (7 strands of 0.2mm wire)
24 AWG (American Wire Gauge, I think)

edit: unless you're running a load of Deltas in your case. Then you would probably need pylon cable or something!

God. I need to get out more...

Heh, you noticed that

I hope that was subtle enough mods?

edit: Apparently not. Sorry to get you into trouble Active.

I gotta get these, ive got a few, i would advise ordering something beside, postage for just these is a bit steep.
