That's going to totally depend on what you're trying to do. All of my NARAM-60 models , including the 45mm dia egglofter, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3056609 , were printed single-wall vase mode for light weight, and they turned out to be very durable (in ABS). The only finish was sanding out the layer striations completely, which thinned them even more.

So consider single wall a practical minimum, it's hard to go less, and add from there.
