I use wire-wrap wire, or teflon coated wire. I tend to make them on the long 
side, and put a little loop in for strain relief, and to absorb vibration. 
The extra length doesn't matter, as a rule, and makes the wire much easier 
to strip and solder into position. I've just done a lot of mods like that on 
my latest creation.
