A lot depends on your weight and whether or not you routinely carry a pillion and/or luggage.
Standard is 7w. Thinner improves hi-speed damping response but at the possible expense of increased dive on hard braking. Springs, though, play into this equation - there's no simple answer.
FWIW, I found the Hyperpro spring set to work well with the Gen 1. They're progressive springs but the initial and secondary rates are better-matched to the bike than the Yamaha originals.
