For myself,my hand width is wide but have short fingers, doesn't really matter to me. I've been playing for a long time, since I was 11, and can switch from say my JEM's with the wizard necks to my `59 reissue without any real issue. Lately though I've been playing mainly my `59, PC1(neck is like my `59), or the `77(which has more a `60's neck). With the bigger neck, I'm sure your hand feels less fatigued, you can play alot longer than say with a thinner neck, it's just more comfortable. That's just myself, everyone has their own preference as to what feels right for them.
