I need help. Proper gauge usage.

I am wondering what is the proper gauge I am to use for 85' to 115' wire spans. I am running a 7.2 / 9.2 setup in my custom landscaped backyard. 12gauge or 14 gauge?

I was also wondering 8ohm or 6ohm, which is better for my reciever?

I am running Kicker6000 outdoor speakers. They are rated at 75watts rms/150 peak. I am currently refurbishing a Denon AVR 1908. I have read independent wattage from 90 - 115 @8ohm and up to 115 or higher @6ohm for this particular reciever.... can you help?

The speakers are 8Ω, so no worries there. This page says you should use 10 ga for such a run. IMO, 12 ga would be fine, though. This isn't exactly a high end installation. Would love to see pics of your setup, though.
