Which guitar strings to buy?

Question

I have a Les Paul, and I play mostly rock music - like April Sixth, Breaking Benjamin, Muse, etc. I play both rhythm and solo, and I also do some finger picking. Some of the stuff I play (i.e. Breaking Benjamin songs) I have to tune down pretty far for since I only have a 6 string.

Can anybody suggest some strings? URLs or just things to look for?

Answer 2

GHS David Gilmour strings are what I've found to be the best.  If you are looking for the best sound and durability then this is what you want to buy.  

Answer 3

Elixir strings last for like 6 or 7 months before you need to change them.  

Answer 4

i am not sure about standard tuning too much, but i you are tning breaking benjamin low then you will need some pretty thick strings or they will be floppy, which sucks.

i reccomend GHS heavyweights. they are nearly bass strings they are so thick.

but when you are in standard tuning, i would suggest Ernie ball skinny top heavy bottoms. good strings.
