1.6mm or 2mm nails for Skirting and Architrave?

I made a little deal with our builder that I'd do a few of the jobs in our extension to save me some cash...one of which is the skirts and arcs.

I've been trawling some old threads about nail size for skirts and went to ask a question in an existing thread only to be met with "An error has occurred Lexi01! You are not allowed to bump threads that are older than 365 days!"

So my apologies if this has been covered before but I need to now the size of nails to use for skirts and arcs.

I'm buying a nail gun and not sure if I should go for one that shoots 1.6mm or 2mm.

The previous posts I can see give advice about nail length...material thickness + x + y ...thats all cool but I cant find anything about nail thickness.

Some advice please?

Thanks, Alex.
