There is a school of thought that says you should use a slightly smaller thread for the looper thread, so that it throws a neater loop, but we find the same size for both works fine.

Wow, even larger than I guessed.
I've had a couple of people tell me the same thing about using smaller thread in bobbins for flatbed machines, but my experience is like yours- same size for both works just fine.
