For beverages, I just buy #12 solid THHN wire from Home Depot in 500 
foot rolls and splice as required. I go for the thick stuff to make it 
break less often. Usually the first big tree/branch, regardless of size, 
just strenches it. After that, I get roughly one break per 1.5 years per 
beverage. My beverages are mainly through thick woods. I like electric 
fence insulators  to support them.
 
For radials I look for very cheap wire, for beverages I don't bother
