Emery Cloth Question

I'm going to pick up emery cloth, the kind used to clean pipes that's 1.5" wide, for scribe sanding. Should I get 120g or 320g?

I've tried plumber's emery cloth and not been terribly impressed by it. It does work, but I think actual sandpaper is better. (Your mileage may vary....)
As far as grit, I'd guess 120 might be my choice to try. 320 is pretty fine.
