About fretwire size, this is a tricky question. Do you like wide and flat frets, smaller and narrower ones... it all boils down to personal experience and preference. If you're not certain, then usually the standard option (not to wide, not too high) usually is a good option.
Personally, I prefer a lil smaller frets. I think Lee Sklar uses mandoline fretwire. But frets usually aren't a big issue for me, as long as they aren't too high. The smaller distance between the fingerboard and the fret height, the better, in my opinion.
I like the feeling of my fingerboard under my fingertips. But larger and taller frets give longer fret life, less pressure needed to get clean notes and hence.... easier to *get* clean notes.
I'd probably say that if you don't really have any strong opinion about it, go with jumbo frets. That's the traditional and "standard" option for most people.
