Quick! What solder should I use for electronic works? 60/40 or 50/50, maybe even something else?

60/40, or 63/37.

50/50 is for plumbing, not electronics.

the 64/37 is a smoother melt.

63/37 (aka eutectic solder) transitions instantly between molten and solid, while the melting point of 60/40 is about 14C higher than its solidification point.
