Which nut should I use? I assume the: Graph Tech TUSQ XL 1/4" Epiphone Slotted Nut?
I just wanted to know which fits best.

Get a bone nut! You will pay the same for the labor to install and file it anyway.

Actually, I do all my own work. Labor is free that way. I just don't have the nut files to make my own.

You don't need expensive nut files (*it does help) you can use the cheap welding rod cleaning files. Also a set of feeler guages can be cut on one side to make perfectly workable nut files. Have a look on YouTube there are a few examples.

It is simply a suggestion, but I would first change the hardware wiring (True Achilles heel) then maybe even the tuners, rather than the nut, although more should be spent. Nut is a good, simple and not expensive thing to replace on a guitar. It improves sound and tuning stability. For the price that you pay for a TUSQ nut, it's a nobrainer. I have those nuts on all of my guitars.
