I use 12awg for 13.5, but 14awg would be fine for me, so for 17.5 you'll have no problems.

I've always prefered 14ga. The thin strands in 12ga tend to burn up rather quickly and will need replacing.

I use Danes 12 guage for everything, great stuff, but pretty heavy duty for 17.5. 14g will be good as gold and easier to solder.
