If it is bigger than that, it will be difficult to be precise enough with PCBs for instance. Diameter? I recommend a diameter inferior to 1 mm.Even in theory, the difference of resistivity is really, really low! Personally, I think it is a waste of money. Practically speaking, I did not noticed that much differences when soldering, or for durability. Silver or tin? Some people will tell you that silver solders are better.However lead has been banned for ecological reason and is now forbidden in the EU (with the RoHS norm). It was used because the solder melted easily at low temperature, and was really practical for electronics as you do not want to heat components too much.
