How to choose
Choose your string gauge based on how hard you play and the feel you want from the neck.
Beginner
A newer player usually finds a lighter gauge, such as the Brite Wires Extra Light or the .011-.050 Ultra-Light Gauge flatwounds, easier on the fingers while learning chords and bends. Change the full set together rather than one string at a time, and wipe the strings down after playing to keep them from corroding early.
Intermediate
Once your fretting hand is stronger, the Brite Wires Light or the Vintage Reissue 010-046 set gives a fuller tone with only a small increase in tension. Keep a spare set on hand so a broken string does not stop a rehearsal, and stretch new strings gently before tuning up to help them hold pitch.
Expert
Experienced players often settle on a gauge, such as the medium Brite Wires or the flatwound .012-.052 set, to suit a specific guitar and playing style. Restring one string at a time on guitars with tricky bridges to keep intonation steady, and store spare sets somewhere dry so they last until you need them.
