Ground Wire: buss wire vs. copper?

[mook]

What's better? I'd tend to think that for a ground, wire is wire is wire. Seems that the only thing with ground is that you have a solid connection and a larger wire for ground return (14-16 gauge).

For my ground, I usually use buss wire doubled - I spin it on a drill.

...see R.G.'s posting on this subject (signals above 20Khz in a guitar amp are most likely to be "noise/switching" artifacts anyway, so their attenuation would be a 'good thing'.)

...BOTH = solid wire makes an excellent "anchor-point" onto which the various stranded signal ground wires get connected.

I'm a little confused. Ground is not ground is not ground, so I don't understand the issue of buss wire vs copper.
(1) isn't buss wire copper, mostly?

(2) how you run wires has a big effect on ground noise. Wire size is less of an issue if your grounding scheme is naturally noise-resistant.
