what? 233 strands for 2/0 is not alot that wouldnt be very flexible at all

You'll get less area with less strands.

i have been told no skin effect on dc voltage only on ac.

i would personally choose the 1k+ strand count

for instance the SHOK wire i sell has 5400 strands and is very flexible, make it alot easier to install, and it is still pure copper //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Conductivity is a property of the metal, not of the area or number of strands. The area increases the current handling and more strands (of the same area) increase the flexibility of the wire.
