Dave,

I´ve used 2x 1mm silver coated copper wire (twisted with a drill) for all power supply and fet connections inside my Aleph-X. Seems to work fine. I once changed the wiring in my Aleph5 from 2mm^2 to 10mm^2 (power supply/output) without much effect.

I think it´s more important to keep your wiring as short and neat as possible.
