Default Which Magnecor wire set for HE with Lucas?

I see on the Magnecor website they list 1007 with 8mm wires, and 1507 with 8.5mm wires for the HE V12 Several of you have stated to use only Magnecor wires. Which set do you use?
EDIT: I just figured out that they use different parts numbers for the same application if it is from the US plant, or the UK or Aussie plant. The numbers I gave are US part numbers.

I used 8.5mm as these came with the 6.0L engine I bought. Be aware that the lower resistance in these leads (a good thing for the ignition system) will most likely cause ignition noise in the stereo. To fix this you can add a 1000uF 16V elecro in parallel with a 1nF ceramic across the power leads for the stereo.
