    Rigid (Class B) vs Flexible (Class D or Higher) Stranded Wire

    Hi all, new to the forum here. I've done a lot of reading on which type of electrical wire to use and while there's ample sites/blogs/video etc. which state "stranded over solid", none of them specify which grade of stranded should be used.
