Strip: Glass preferences?

Once again, I seem to be re-hashing an old topic that has probably been debated all the way around the block, but my search of the archives didn't really turn up what I was looking for.

I'm getting ready to order epoxy & fiberglass, but I'm waffling on which weight of glass to order. A single layer of 6 oz, perhaps?? Or maybe a double layer of 3 or 4 oz?? Or what about this 5 oz satin glass?? This is my first boat and I have NO glassing experience.

So which way to go?? And why?? Decisions, decisions.......
