Ginsu Victim:
I used the 22 gauge from Radio Shack and it's been great for all my wiring needs. From wiring the CP to lighting the coin rejects, it's worked fine.
Wade:
Most important thing for low power use like a control panel is for the wire to be stranded, not solid.  Solid wire breaks easily and also isn't meant for crimping and doesn't hold crimps very well.  Most common mistake I see on this forum, I think.

Ah, the solid/stranded debate is still alive  ;D

I specifically chose solid because it holds its form better.  I have no issues crimping it, and have not had a piece break yet.

But, to each their own.
