For heat shrink, I usually get 3:1 that is 2x larger than the final diameter (or thereabouts). 3:1 gives you more room for error than 2:1 and it usually fits over connectors after the fact.

If you get the standard Flexo PET, I also recommend a hot knife (soldering iron with a knife tip) to cut it. Otherwise, it frays badly. They have clean cut and other products, but they are more expensive.

Good luck.
