although i build my own designs either one would probably work.but through the years of reading most people perfer 6(especialy on tweeter panels) some say that they could could hear a difference imo i would use the thinnest you could get and (i hate to say) if sounds to bright back the treble off a bit.if your only doing one panel i would try to use the same thickness as the other one so that their the same as one might sound brighter due to the lower mass. it has been awhile since i've read any info on them and i dont remember what thicness was used .thin is good as long as they remain stable.i hope that helps. jer
