We have a fixed drop, been running .125" drop on ~4" wheeels has served us well.

We've used 3/8" axles when both ends of the axle are supported by the frame with the wheel somewhere in the middle.

Universally saying X size is required isn't the greatest thing to do.
We had a prototype cantilever drive with 3/8" axles perform and last just fine, we however do 1/2" axles with 7/16" hex on our comp for geometry reasons.
