Location: Scotland | Depends on loads of factors, some of them might include:- Are you a fingerstyle player or a flatpicker? Do you need playabilty or tone/volume? Do you have a light attack or are you heavy handed? How much relief do you have in the neck? Do you mostly play unplugged or amplified? Do you need to bend the 1st or 2nd string more than 2 semi-tones? How corrosive is your sweat? Try a light-gauge 12-52 set of quality (D'addario maybe) strings & work up or down a gauge from there. The string gauge & set-up of your guitar, combined with your playing style, is far more important than make or type of string
