I am working on a few liner lock knives and ordered bronze washers in 05,10,15,and 20 thicknesses . Are there any pros or cons to using a certain thickness washer?

And how much oil does it take when I get ready to oil it up? Seems like I remember reading it is easy to over oil them? would one drop split 4 ways be enough for both sides of both washers?
 
About washers thickness, 0,35mm is totally max in my opinion.

But this must be a phosphor bronze, but mostly I use Nylatron GS with MoS2 ;) ( 0,25mm and 0,35mm)
