Default Thread size for quilting?

I plan to use my home machine for quilting and I want the thread to be visible as part of the design. What size thread would be appropriate? I know there's a couple different scales with 50 wt being pretty much the standard for piecing. I'm considering something like 30 wt for quilting. There's also the tex scale and I'm thinking something around 60 in tex scale as well.
Has anyone used heavier thread in their home machine? What did you use and how well did it work?
Thanks for any info,
Rodney
