You should consider how long the Ground wire run needs to be.
Longer runs are more important to be #6 and #8 gauge.
You could argue for the new low cost of residential equipment, is expensive
ground wire needed?
You could gamble, so what if a radio here and there blew, if the small
common surges were handled with the ground system.
It also depends on what you are grounding, the inside equipment POE, the
outside equipment, the Coax/Cat5 shield or the main mast?
If grounding a mast, I'd never use anything less than #8 guage. If grounding
at POE, (short run) #10 gauge would be fine.

Subject: [WISPA] Ground wire
I was just curious for residential installations what size
ground wire people are using? We have been using all #8 but with the
sky rocketing costs of this have been considering #10 instead. This is
used between our Polyphaser and the house ground system.
