I come to this from a very pragmatic angle - I select the ribbing width based on the result I am after. Beyond that my take is - there is no single right or wrong rib width

Doc, this one looks like it could dance across the table. That kind of mobility and action would give me a great amount of confidence in this fly, upstream, down, swung or dead drift. Very attractive.

Doc,
Yep, that third one looks the biz for me also. Well done indeed

Super Doc!
I agree with Hans, the ribbing choice should be a purposeful choice, no right or wrong. The same can be said for a lot of variables in fly tying. I do understand trying to "copy" a certain style by a certain tier though.

To expand on Carl's comment - it is a sound principle of any craft, and yes flytying
is a craft, to get familiar with established techniques, established proportions - they are established for a reason after all, one would hope
- before developing a personal style.
