So far, my only experience with using Aurifil threads is with piecing. For that, I'm using the 50/2 weight as it is a thinner, yet just as strong thread as most 50/3's but doesn't take up as much room in the seam as the 50/3 thread. I find now that I rarely have to sew with a scant 1/4" since this weight works so well for me.
Hoping someone else will chime in for you on which thread they prefer for machine quilting. I'm guessing it's going to be a thicker thread, maybe 40 or even a 30 weight.
