It really depends on what you need, intended applications, etc.
A thicker jacket will provide a little more protection, usually at the
expense of flexibility and wire management since the thicker jacket is
usually a little stiffer. This can also have the benefit of helping to
prevent people from violating bend radius rules, etc...
Also, some jumpers normally come with a thinner jacket. Most anything
I've seen that has an LC connector on at least one end uses a thinner
jacket because the thicker jacket won't work too well with LC connectors.
