depends on what you are using them for. Hard work or light riding in light brush etc.

I like 3/4 or so. Heavier or use mule hide for farrier work, tall mesquite,etc. Where are you riding?

Springfield leather, Zack White, etc...all are good for leather.

If your wanting to make farriers chaps / apron i always used apron splits / mule hide and sew a big patch on them where you think the rasp will hit. They will last a pretty good while depending on many times the rasp goes across the patch. When you get a hole in the patch you can patch it or put a new one on.
