Most people I see use either 1/8 or 3/32 with a 3mm hollow ekowool insulator. No need to drill on a RSST with those sizes. I think with the larger 1/8 cable you have to remove the wick hole insulator though.

No. Maybe. I suppose not all sizes of cable wick at equal rates, if that is what you're getting at. Some of the thinner cables can only be had in a 7X7 braid which, because of the relative reduction of available juice-adhering surface area, might lead it wick less fast. But that's just a guess. Either way, I try and wedge the bottom of the sleeve down in the wick hole if possible in order to mitigate leaks. But that's only if my cable is significantly narrower than the wick hole. Plus, the wedged sleeving keeps the cable from possibly shorting out against the deck of my genny (a non-issue with the wickhole-insulated RSST).
Stainless steel mesh is synonymous with genisis rba because raidy made it that way. Raidy first brought the genisis up in his modding thread here on ecf and in his german vaping forum. He used ss mesh because he liked it. Since then they have gone hand in hand. Although you can use other wicks in them. Its genisis by the way. It was changed over time. But thats how it was originally named.

OK so why no galvanized? Is it because the liquid may react with it? I really do not understand. I have used SS and mesh and have tried many methods. My favorite is the raw SS mesh then I pulse the coil to build up carbon. I can set it up now in like 5 mins. The last time I used a sleeve was setting up the Aios but that is a weird situation. The SS cable does wick really really well.
Cable mutes flavor. Even AG's Getto wick -> Kanthal cable.
IMO, the best set up for Genny's is their intended wicking material; mesh and wire, that's it. Runner up is cotton. If I'm gonna deal with the leak factor I want the best, most pristine flavor out there.

Heated galvanized metal caused metal fume fever in welders of yesteryear.
Mesh with ekowool sleeve is my favorite setup. Much more reliable vape than just using mesh in my experience. I use an ekowool sleeve in both my genny's now
I appreciate all the input. It's helped a lot. Just want to hear from a couple more people about what size mesh. 500x500? (I'm not asking what size to make the wick...that varies obviously 
) I am going to use the RSST with a mesh wick. I'm looking to get a genny vape in all its form. I have my other attys for cotton builds.

6" x 6", 12" x 12"... either one.
Like I said a 12 by 12 lasts me about 8 months.

500 mesh seems to be the most widely praised weave density. I have never used anything else, so I can't say for certain. But it certainly works well for me. I do however recommend cutting out your mesh pieces at a diagonal to the weave pattern of the greater sheet. Thus yielding a wick that has no juice-travel-hindering horizontal strands.
Oh, was that the question? mesh weave. Yeah I ran out of 500 for a minute and was using 400 with a high VG juice. Dry hits all day, trust me I didn't start to love Genesis atty's till I bought some 500.
For vapor quality, my 18mm is superior to 20mm. I want 16ish mm gennys now, maybe DID or AGA-S.
For cloud chasing the 20mm gennys are great.
I received about half dozen free SS wicks w/ RBA orders but haven't counted the mesh size. I got better service when wick diameter was significantly smaller than deck hole.
