My experience and I tend to overbuild is that if you use 3k Material then 5 layers is good and stiff. Stiffer is better.
you can get by with less if you have good end rings, but I prefer to lose the end rings and the tube rings and build a good stiff tube. It gets rid of a lot of other issues. you can always go for lighter, but you take the risk of having flex if you don't nail it.
I dont remember the exact thickness but I am thinking around .05" - .08" depending on the fiber material you use. If I get time I will go measure mine.
