Default Gauge of lintels in block stand?

I was checking out the angle iron at the local Big Box Store and found that they carry varying widths and thicknesses. I specifically recall that they had some at about 1.25" wide @ 1/8" gauge and about 2" wide @ 3/16" gauge. Would those both be wide and strong enough? What's the recommended minimum gauge for the lintels?
