Maton EBG808C TE fret choise

Hi everybody, I have a Maton EBG808C TE Tommy Emmanuel Cutaway Ebony Fingerboard in my shop for a setup but the instrument is also in need for a partial refret. The customer agreed to do that. Now, is there someone here that did this before that can help me to choose the right fret type for this job? On an average I have 0.080" width and 0.040" height for the original frets Thank you :-)

When doing a partial refret (which I try to avoid at all costs) I match the same size fret wire that is existing in the instrument. A little taller fret is ok but the width is the most important.
