Best bonsai training wire according to redditors

So this is what I would pick. Right, it's bonsai wire, but you might be asking yourself, "what the heck does that have to do with being outdoors?" Well, bonsai is an outdoor activity. Trees for the most part will die inside, no matter what. Bonsai wire is used on trees to wire branches to go a different direction than they would grow naturally. This allows the tree to look older, or to change the way a branch grows. I always need wire because you can't leave wire on all of the time, or it cuts into the branch and leaves horrid scars so it's a constant process of wiring, and removing wire, and putting new wire on.

Here is an example of one of my trees. This boxwood has wiring on the primary branches to move the branches in a more horizontal place.

All the sizes seemed appropriate for my wiring needs!

Do you think these: 1 mm2 mm3 mm will be enough variation to start? I don't expect to have a ton to wire this year since I will mostly have a bunch of collected trees that will need to recover but I gotta do some wiring.

Wow, what an incredible reply with so much good information! If its okay with you, I'd like to follow up in numeric bullets below:

1. I'm a little tight on money, so now getting a fabric pot would be something I couldn't immediately do. I will keep it in the plastic for the winter, and then do you think it would be okay to repot (possibly to a fabric pot) come spring? Should I look for a pot that's larger than its current pot so it has extra room to grow?
   
   
2. Come spring, would it be okay to do a little pruning to begin to reveal some of the trunk, etc and help promote some growth?
   
   
3. Regarding reading, I joined the Reddit subthread, and also picked up Bonsai Workshop and have been going throw that. Any other great books you recommend?
   
   
4. I picked up some tools already - these Shears, and this wire. I'm hoping to get some concave cutters next. Also, here's the pot I had picked up thinking that I would already be translating -- anything i can put in here for time being? haha.
   
   
5. Allshapes Bonsai is only an hour away, so that would be a nice Sunday trip with my wife. If I picked up an indoor Tropical guy, I assume it would be okay to put him in the new pot and prune, etc right? Any certain types you recommend for this?
   
   
6. I'm 15 minutes into that Bonsai Mirai video and I'm in love already. This is going to be really helpful, so thank you!
   
   

Hi I just bought a Bougainvillea from Lowes. Should I just prune and let it grow in the black plastic bucket thing I bought it in for the rest of the year until spring time? I would like it to grow the trunk a bit so I figured doing that would be best.

Is there anything I should do other than pruning to prep till next spring? Should I switch out the soil? If so regular soil like miracle grow or bonsai soil even though I plan on keeping it in the black bucket?

As for tools I plan to buy Fiskars scissors and this wire set. Anything else a scrub like me should get? If I do enjoy this enough I have no problem spending $500+ on really nice tools, just not right away.

I live in a desert where 115 degrees is the norm for summer days and the sun really tough. I read on the wiki "A covered porch or a covered apartment balcony generally has insufficient light unless it’s right up against the rail." so should I just let it sit in direct sunlight all day or should I place it under another tree where it can get rays of sunlight but still in the shade?
