Use stranded. It's more flexible and less likely to break and create open circuits. No problem using a lower AWG (fatter wire) other than it being less convenient and more expensive.

Quoted from SealClubber:Solid wire does not hold as much current as stranded of the same gauge. Less surface area. Use stranded.
True, for AC. For DC, the skin effect doesn't apply. The era of game makes a difference here as to what's used. If it's DC, though, it's a new game that won't be actually running much current through the EOS switch.
Regardless, the answer is still "use stranded".
