Unless you're getting kink issues you probably don't need anti-kink coils.

Well, if that's why then sure. I personally don't like that, like at all, but that's what's good about personal taste, who cares once you like it. I'd say measure the outside yourself and buy the coil as close to the measurement you get yourself, failing that buy the coil so it's not smaller than the OD.

loose, tight might be hard to fit and might make it not be a uniform coil, like when you bed it it might stretch, but loose might not look as clean.

Indeed, it shouldn't cause too many issues.
