How long are the runs? Failing anything else, I'd say Home Depot 14 or 12 gauge. Or other generic 14 gauge or better. It's just electricity. You will get other opinions.

Your longer runs should probalby be 12 guage. People will also disagree on this, citing interesting charts, but I'm just more comfortable with a little bit more cable. Then again, I'm running 30 ft runs of 16 gauge flat cable, and that's fine, so pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I'm with Ken... 14ga. will be fine, 12ga. will be overkill, but didn't keep me from doing it.

Throw me onto the 14 ga bandwagon. I believe unless you have a very long run 12 ga will not be needed, also here where I live both Home Depot and Lowes sells the spooled 14 ga wire but 12 ga has to be special ordered.
