Pins and Bolsters

Is there a correct or common pin size for bolsters? I am going to make a knife and plan on using nickel silver bolsters and was thinking that there has to be a benefit to using a larger size pin stock but wasn't sure where to start.

Thanks!
 
If you are going to polish over it and blend them into the bolsters, I don't think there is any reason to go larger than 1/8"... and if something should go wrong, you can always move up to something larger. Just a thought...
