 What is a good rule of thumb when choosing the wire gauge to wind your
 secondary with.
 My power supply is a 9/30 NST and a 10/23 OBIT. For the secondary form size I
 am thinking something like 3.5" diameter and 15" long. Thanks in advance for
 the help.

Joe, 

I used #28 wire on my 3.5" diameter coil, with a winding length of 13".  Your 
winding length of 15" sounds like a good plan.
