For top stitching, 138 and in my shop and that's really about the tops for upholstery machines. You can get many of them to use 207 but often have to make adjustments.

I use 138 for all my top stitching. I prefer how it looks. 207 looks to big for my taste.

I used to use 92 but on a lot of things that I have been doing for custom autos, 138 is my go to thread. It really makes some of the stitches "pop" and seems to get the attention that some customers want.

Depend on how contrasts the color is.
Here is 2 T90 topstitch and a T210 top stitch.
Green and coffee are T90
Orange is T210
