Personally I like having a slightly thicker blade. Just me. I don't believe that the thickness can hamper to much on the performance.

Many have recommended the YKCG, and I don't disagree, but you should also look into the YKLE. It is a little thicker than what you are looking for, but as I have said before, a little thickness to the blade couldn't hurt. It's also slightly more expensive due to the Satin finish.
