L/D ratio and gauges



greeting
i was wondering about if my coil had the right lenth to diameter aspect
ratio. Which ratio works the best? my program says the L/D ratio shouldn't
be anymore than 4.5. but i've seen many long thin coils put out long
streamers. Does the wire gauge have to do anything with the L/D ratio? Why
is 22 awg wire preferred over other types. Some prefer thin wire such as 26
gauge. WHY?
thanks for reading
