My 100 radials on my 80m vertical tower, where I lived in Indiana, were
#24 insulated wire and did very well with no deterioration and were
fully able to handle maximum legal power.
I plan on doing the same here in Michigan with three verticals on 80m
and 3 verticals on 40m, all using #24 - #18, depending only on how much
wire I have on those spools.
