When I redid mine I used 1/2" SS tubing on the upper and 1/4" Spectra on the lowers. If you are not leaving freshwater 304 should be fine, but if you think you could get salty at some point I would use 316.

My deck project has evolved enough so that I can contemplate re-installing the stanchions and lifelines. I want to use uncoated stainless wire, so the obvious question is, do I need to worry about chafing on the stanchion itself, as the wire would have the same hardness. Are there soft sacrificial inserts such as nylon, polyethelene, etc, or do I need to manufacture something? Also, 304 or 316 for the wire? Finally, terminal hardware? Any suggestions? Would prefer to use something swageless... Thanks to all in advance...
