I am about to install a ground radial setup for my Butternut HF9V. Does it
matter if the wire is #14, #16, or #18, bare or insulated--buried or on the
surface with radial staples ???

Not really. The differences would be so small a receiving station
wouldn't note any difference. The exception being if the radials are
buried deeply (more than 3-4 inches).

What is important is the number and length of the radials. For more
