I normally use 18 gauge for trim and fill the holes.

I had a 16 gauge that jammed up so bad that I half demolished the thing trying to get the nail unjammed. I'll repair that gun someday, because it worked well until it jammed.

I bought a 15 gauge Rigid brand for hanging doors.

I used the 23 gauge when refacing cabinet end panels, stiles and rails with 1/4 inch hard maple. 3M-90 spray adhesive, and then 23 GA pins to clamp them. It worked out well.
