The improvement of oil delivery on wider guage chains is arguably minimal at best.
Starting with a narrower guage has the advantage of being able to transition to a wider guage as the bar wears (although those not cutting professionally are unlikely to wear their bars all that much anyways).
I'd suggest you see what is most reasonably priced & available in your area (or wherever you intend to buy your bars & chains) & go from there.
