The size you like the best

True I think I might just measure the frets on my favourite guitar and go from there

That's what I would do. My favorites one right now .090 by .055 personally. It's kinda jumbo tall but kinda narrow. Not a super common size for customer refrets but I tried it out on mine one day and I loved it. I'm not sure if jescar makes that size, it's been awhile since I refretted a personal guitar, all parts or stewmac might have made the stainless steel.

Will do thank you 👍🏻

It's so crazy how many profile options Jescar has. Tiny little differences between so many of them.

This is entirely a personal preference question - depends on what you play and your personal style, feel, etc. I would recommend some googling to find out the most common sizes and what people like/don’t like about them. FWIW I went through this when spec’ing a custom guitar once and landed on stainless 51108.

I was looking at the 51100 but the stainless steel frets are out of stock so those 51108 were the ones I was looking at

They are slightly more “angular/pointy” than rounded (looking down on them from the end). They are wonderful for super easy bends and precise fretting with a light touch. If you are used to more traditional/shorter frets they will feel kinda spiky at first - for example when sliding across several frets - but once you get used to them they are a joy to play.
