I have asked about that method before and after building three wheels that i thought were perfect while i was building them, all rims ended up with cracks on the DS. I would definitely recommend buying a tensiometer.
Back to your question, maybe thinner spokes are better because they allow a more precise adjustement. It takes more turns to achieve the same tension, so it might be easier to reach a good tension uniformity.
