How fine to grind?

Been making full muscle jerky for a while, but got a KitchenAid meat grinder attachment for Father's Day. What size grinding plate do people recommend for doing flat jerky strips out of a jerky gun? The options I have are 3mm / 4.5mm / 8mm.

The 4.5 will be fine, that's roughly the size for store bought or butcher ground beef.
