Default Panel Lines & Chart Tape Size

I'm Glassing and Painting a Warbird for the first time and want to go ahead with Panel Lines using the Chart Tape/High Build Primer/Remove Tape/Sand/Paint Method; the Plane is 1/5 Scale, and I assumed 1/64" Chart Tape would be the right size to use; however, I keep reading and hearing about people using 1/32" Chart Tape, because the small size of 1/64" Panel Lines/Grooves get obscured when you paint and clear coat the Plane, but the 1/32" will less likely do this? What are your thoughts and/or preference for 1/5 Scale?
