I have to agree with Mike, physical strength is important.
I am on an exposed ridge where the winds are quite strong.
I use stainless steel wire rope as part of the top hat supported with 19mm
dia al tubing spokes.

Bruce,
I used to resonate my tower on 80m with 22 ga wire in two directions.
Never a problem with power handling at 1.5kW; I probably would have
used bigger stuff if I had any in the garage at the time.
Like others here, I think the real issue is that these wires will
become de facto guy wires,
