I use 3/8" for 11/16 PB butt joints. They will never make a clean
entry.
You'll be safe to use the 3/8 in 3/4 anything. I sometimes butt-join
1/2" MDF. Then I have to take a sandling block to smooth out the edge
of the entry craters.
Always shoot towards a very solid non-bouncy base. Those guns like to
bounce and shoot more than one pogo-staccato-like.

Thanks much. *I'm probably going to pick the one in the middle and go
with 3/8" to start. *I ought to bite the bullet and get a box of each
size and not worry about it the rest of my life, but times is tough!

Make sure they are the tapered ones.
