I use the same needles--the titanium last a long time. I use size 16 for piecing and 14 for quilting. But you are supposed to match your needle size with the thread size, so since I use 50 wt thread for piecing I use size 16 needles. If I use 40 wt thread for quilting I use 14 needles. As Onebyone said the superior website is a great reference.
