Edge Gates are the most commonly used of all gating options. 
The height of the gate should equal 75-100% of the wall thickness up to .125 in. 
The width should  equal 2 times the depth,   as it would appear in a mold.

An Edge Gate will leave a  Scar at the Parting Line equal to the cross section of the size of the gate.
