That keeps the low end of the gutiar nice and beefy without me shelling out lots of cash on sets of singles.
My 6 strings have a set of d'Addario 10's on them for the S2170FW, just standard 10's.
My Viper has 12-56 Ernie Balls on, since I wanted to strengthen my fingers and play some jazz.
My NEW 6 string is my 'Blues' guitar, so I have that set up with 11 guage elixers to give me more of that SRV vibe.
My acoustic 6 string has 12 guage Elixers on.
My Acoustic 12 string has 10 guage rotosounds on because they're cheap.
My classical guitar, I don't actually know what strings are on it, except I asked for regular classical strings and got whatever I got.
The other guitars in the house probably have d'addarios on, since I haven't changed the strings on those in forever, the guitars above get much more playtime.

Now I know why you are GuitarBizarre...because you have, at last count, 57 guitars!
I just use Elixer electric guitar strings, light (0.010 - 0.046), with Nanoweb. It's the only set I have bought since I got the guitar. Not enough playtime, I guess.
I was actually pleased the first time a string broke!
I haven't played long enough to get finicky about my strings. I will say, though, that I like these Elixers because they are so easy to press down. My electric guitar feels very delicate and responsive to me.
I just got a bass and those big ol' whomping strings don't look like they'll ever break, so maybe I'll never have to change them!
