I use DR (TM) 10 - 52.
I have also used thicker strings but my fingers are not ready for them :) (problems with bending)

I put the set of D'Addario .011-.049s on my Strat a few days ago. It feels and sounds so much better. It really tightened up the sound especially in the bridge pickup. Now the bridge pickups isn't so harsh. I recommend to all of you guys who use .010s or less to make the switch. It really improved my Strat's tone. 8)

I have heard a lot of good things about them, but have not tried them yet.

I go back and forth between D'Addarios and Ernie Balls 11 gauge. I love the tone of thicker strings. If I get cocky sometime in the future I might try 13s if I think I could bend them.

I used Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinks (09-11-16-26-36-46). There's nothing like that classic twangy tone.

I use 10's right now.

When I got my newest strat (used), the previous owner had something like 13's on there. They were huuuuge. Sounded great though. And considering my previous strat had 9's, I decided to pick a decent balance between nice tone and nice feel, and go for 10's on this strat.

I'm sold on the Darco Funky 10 - 52. I put on a new set for just glass shattering bite and clarity for every show. They take about five minutes of exercise after initial tuning before the final tune up and they stay in tune all night. That's saying a lot for as hard as I pound them.
