Could anyone advise me on the best diameters of Nylgut fret strings for
a 13-curse baroque lute?

Do not use nylgut for frets, use gut. 

1st fret 1.1
2nd fret 1.0
3rd fret 0.9
4th+5th  0.8
6th+7th  0.7
8th+9th  0.6

Should read: do not use nylgut. Full stop.

Nylgut works pretty well on my 13-c for courses 3, 4 and 5, and
octaves w/copper-wound basses.  1st and 2nd courses in Pyramid nylon.

What's your string-material of choice?  Gut?
