Subject:solder type?

Volks,
I might have missed it in the recent solder connection thread,
BUT I don't recall seeing recommendations for the best type of solder to
use.
I gather that rosin core is best to use.
But do I have to use the toxic leaded solder?
Haynes Auto Electrical Manual recommends 60/40 (tin/lead).
But I'd feel better (from a health point of view) using the LEAD-FREE 97%
tin / 3% copper rosin core solder that Radio Shack sells.
What do yall think?
