I am about to do an order and I'm going to give braid another chance...
Seems there are many choices from 1.5mm upwards.
So what do people find most useful? 2mm? 2.5?

I find the thin stuff too fiddly and it obviously gets used up more quickly.  So, my advice is to go for as wide as you can get.

Ok then, just getting ready to pull the trigger on the order now.
I'll go with 2.5mm .... cheers

I had a chance to work as a helping hand of a seasoned repairman, and when he needed such stuff I noticed it was much thinner what I had used- He told it was because he wanted thin pcb tracks and pads not burned while desoldering
