I'm using 3/32 (2.4mm) 7x19 T316 (with oxidized #500 diaper) and a 2/3 wrap of 0.6 ribbon in both my D14 and D16 and it's really impressive! I ordered some 2mm today just to see if there's a difference.
Various prep steps out there - I torched till good and red and then boiled for a few mins (probably give up the boiling as I get lazier as I get comfortable with stuff). Even re-wicking is a breeze (redo the diaper and recoil -> clouds of vapor)
Edit: that pic shows a 3/4, I pulled a wrap off and the heat-up delay vanished...
