Hello,
Electrons repell each other and generally distribute themselves at outer most layers. This depth sometimes is refer to skin depth, however, actually this is not so.
This effect is rather mild and you should not go and try to make your cables have maximum possible surface area per volume. However, if I were to build cables with diameter 1um, obviously this is not as conductive as my braided 22 guage interconnect.
I believe cables should be able to withstand use. For me this is reason enough to exclude the use of solid wire. Stranded wires can withstand much more numerous bending.
