16 is fine, or if you're unsure go 14.

12 is hard to run into doors, and totally unnecessary.

If you have not bought speaker wire yet, you could go with 12 gauge. Thats probably overkill however. 16 gauge is what I have running to them and that works just fine.

If you have that much extra cable to spare, I would double or even triple wire it. Since it's a speaker (unfused) connection, it's possible that using multiple runs of the same gauge wire rather than a larger gauge could provide better conductivity. I wouldn't recommend it though if it's going to be difficult to conceal/run that much wire.
