Might be easier to just use wire nuts, but if your stuck on soldering it, I can't help ya, I just use whatevers in the garage.

60/40 with the rosin core is good for all purpose stuff. If you plan on doing any PCB repair, 63/37 is a little better because it melts faster.

Silver Solder, .022 dia. 62/36/2.

that is all

For power applications, I doubt he'll need silver solder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

For audio lines, that could be a different story.
