I know that there was a discussion on here a while ago about using serger thread for piecing, so I didn't chime in, but honestly...I use what I have.
At the wholesale place here in Poland, they don't tell me, "It's serger" thread--they tell me how strong it is and what it is made out of. At that place they sell all kinds of thread from elastics to Gutermann, to thin -as-cheap-as-it-comes thread. I buy a middle of the road thread for most of my sewing, actually.
