The cage I have for my Quaker has 1/2'' bar spacing. I think 3/4'' might be pushing it... I would honestly go 5/8'' max, especially if you're going to be bringing home a just weaned baby.
ETA: This is the cage I have for my little guy. I really like it.

I would be afraid to go 3/4 . If they get their head stuck through it and then panic it could be really bad. My cages are 5/8 for my GCC.
1/2 " is the best for a small bird.

The only problem with the 1/2 " spacing you are limited to a smaller size cage. The large cages are always 5/8.

Sully-2 year old cinnamon and Bella-3 year old normal
breeding pair of gcc, Scooter & BeeBee-Sully and Bella's normal son's, Rosey- Bella and Sully's cinnamon daughter, Ella & Sunny-American budgies
I keep my breeding pair of green cheeks in 5/8 and the rest of my green cheeks in 1/2.
This is my breeding pairs' cage,HQ Dometop Parrot Bird Cage - Presented by BirdsComfort.com, it would be a great cage for a Quaker.

I would go with 1/2" personally, with 5/8" being the max.

Sprite has 3/4 bar spacing and I don't think he would ever escape through the bars. EVER! lol! And quakers are bigger than Sprite, so I think he'd be just fine in a 3/4 bar spacing.

That cage seems perfect, it's basically the same cage I posted just 10 inches shorter so I think it will work.
