Default Relative strength: single-wall or nested aluminum tubing?
I can find tubing with a .120" wall, and I can find it with .058" wall.

For a short run (just a few feet), would there be any significant
difference in bending resistance between a length of the thick wall stuff
and one made from two nested thin wall lengths?

Weight's not an issue, nor is price.
