Question interruptus and my 2 cents worth, Jay...

Except for REAL long lines, like utility transmission lines, the AC skin 
effect, which is what I think
you might be referring to here, is probably not worth worrying about one 
way or the other.
And, since stranded wires are not normally insulated from each other, 
stranded will act pretty much
just act like one big solid wire for those concerns anyway.

Stranded wire is easier to bend and work with or course for AC or DC, 
which you already knew.
