Do you think we would have a problem switching over to 1/8" Rivets? I was considering doing that this year, but if 3/16" would be a better choice I will stick with those.

I won't speak to their relative strength, but one of the neat features of using 3/16 rivets everywhere is that you can standardize on a #9 clearance hole everywhere, which can be drilled out to #10 clearance really easily if you want to bolt something instead of riveting. This assumes you currently standardize on #10 bolts.
