I use 12g. A lot of builders pre-wire with 16g. They do it only to save money.
I have been known to use 14g on whole home distributed audio systems. This is maily because I am pulling a llot of wire, and the in walls that are being supplied are not as power hungry as the stuff I would use in a dedicated theater.
