I use 67 for just about everything, but remember if it feels to weak you can always laminate a piece of card stock to it make it stronger. I usually do this on larger flat area and the portions of wing surfaces that do not have a sharp curve. I also like to laminate the larger flat surfaces of the stabilizers.

I'm guessing you chose one of Marek's Bf-110s.Personally I would use 110lb for fuselage,wings and stabilizers and 67lb for almost everything else.With large bird like this printing whole thing on 110 lb wouldn't be such a bad idea.If too thick for small details you can always print on thinner paper.
