Currently, I use 120x which is well worn most of the time so it is more like 150x.  For really thin material under 1/64" I will use 220x.

 

For metric guys:  1/64" = approx. .015" and 1mm = .039", so stuff under .4mm

As long as it is a good finish - mirror perfect may be a waste as most surfaces will need final sanding by the modeller in most circumstances anyway?
