Without getting too technical, the max amps for wiring a chassis (Very very conservative figure ) for that wire is 181 amps. Your power drop, assuming a 20 foot run, 12 volts and 100 amp load would be about 0.32v or, put another way, the voltage would be 11.68 volts on the other end of the circuit. In careful engineering the voltage drop, insulation temperature limit, thickness, thermal conductivity, and air convection and temperature should all be taken into account but are not relative here.
To answer your question, the thicker the copper strands the more brittle and less flexible, but 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) is still 2/0 AWG. Presuming both are copper there is no difference.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
