Through-hole ratios for PCB's
In Through Hole technology, what is the best lead to hole ratio to be maintained?
Is the lead to hole ratio the same for any kind of PCB finishes or does it vary? What should be the pad size on the primary side and secondary side?

We ran some recent tests and reported at APEX 06 "Lead Free Intrusive Reflow" by Coleman and Oxx. In this study 1:1.3 and 1:1.4 provided good results while greater than 1:1.5 gave voids or insufficient fill.
I don't have information on Wave Solder process.
