The ones that are "on sale"

I suppose I'm a heathen, but the brand of my strings doesn't matter to me. Mind you I don't buy crap, but anything from D'addario, GHS, Ernie Ball etc. is acceptable

I am currently using Fender Super Bullet 3250Ms in .11-49 gauge.
They are about the heaviest strings I can get a good setup with on
this particular Strat.

when i first started playing guitar i used 9's because the guy at the store told me those were the normal size. after playing for a while and realizing i like rhythm playing a lot more than lead playing, i switched to 10's, and with my new strat i got yesterday i had 11's put on it. ooh my fingers hurt right now, and theres a problem with the bridge right now

I use D'Addario 8-38s on all my electrics and find that they last and hold their brightness and tuning a long time if you wipe them off after playing.

That's pretty much my position on Strings as well.

What's on sale ... ? $2 a set is my favorite price ...

D'Addario EXL 110

My main consideration for 10's: My Blackie came with 10's, and I don't want to have to go through all the setup issues if I go to a different gauge.

I would love to put 9's on, but I have also heard that if I went any lighter than 10's that the guitar would not have as much fullness to the low end.
