Best strings for natural and artificial harmonics?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone.I googled this to no avail.

I would like to know the best strings for sounding harmonics,especially the jaco style,artificial,i.e.,thumb harmonics(done with right hand).

I am thinking lightest gauge because they would have less inertia?
To that extent nickel over stainless as nickel weighs less.

I have no idea,I am only thinking out loud.Thanks in advance.

The brighter the better would be my thought. Try steels.
