Which one should be the best fit for the Catilina? Not able to get to my boat and measure right now. I figure that I should not wing it setting the rigging up right. Thanks.

PT-1. It handles cable up to 5/32", and our C-22s are rigged with 1/8".

I have a label on the back of mine reminding me to set my lowers to 18 and uppers to 21 (on the PT-1 scale) so I don't have to look up the conversion every time. That seems like a pretty moderate setting per the North Sails tuning guidance. Your mileage may vary (and of course if you want to race, you'll probably re-tune for race-day conditions).
