The Deans will benefit a slight bit if you use the stock wiring. Of course, even if you use a larger wire gauge (lower resistance), you will only see a slight benefit anyways (wire resistance is measured per 1000ft, so your #16AWG wire might be rated at 0.0365 phms per thousand feet, where your #18AWG wire was rated at 0.0548 ohms). I'm just guessing numbers off the top of my head, but wire in short lengths has very low resistance as it is. Is more important the temp of the wire in your gun, smaller wire will heat up faster than larger wire due to amount of current drawn. Resistance is literally a moot point.
When I wire a gun for Deans, say an MP5, I'll buy three sets of Deans, one for the connector just after the mechbox, one for the end where the battery attaches, and one to make an adaptor Deans to large Tamiya. Since yours has a full stock, you could not bother with the connector just outside the gearbox, as long as you splice wire onto it to make it longer to reach your battery.
