If so, you should not be the one making the decision. It is such a naive question that it shows that you are nowhere near qualified enough. No offense, I hope - just trying to keep you out of trouble. |

What thickness? All elase being equal I would say 2.4 inch tubing, but seldome in these kinds of questions is "all else equal", or the question would not need to be even considered, much less asked, as the answer is SO obvious. |
