D'Addario, 10/46 on Tele and Strat, 11/49 on Epi Sheraton.
I use Elixir Nanoweb on my acoustics, bit more expensive but worth it.

I was happy with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (10s) for years. I started wanting to go a bit heavier and tried 11s but they were a bit too much. I heard Matt Schofield used 11s so I tried his Signature set from Curt Mangan. The have a heavy top and bottom, with lighter middle strings. The gauges are: 11, 14, 18, 28w, 38, 54. I really like them - they feel just right under my fingers.
It's mostly a personal thing - what's right for one may be wrong for another.

Strings last me absolutely ages for some reason.
I said maybe.....
I use rotosound pure nickels currently...10s on everything, but considering next time I go through set ups going to 9s on the tele, keeping the strat on 10s but in Eb tuning and keeping the Les Paul with 10s as is. Just as part of getting everything feeling a little closer to each other accounting for scale length.
I used to play 9s on a super strat when I was younger and had 9s with 10 bottoms on a Samick Les Paul I had a good few years back - but tried some 9s on my current Les Paul to see how I felt now and they didn’t even last the afternoon before I’d swapped back.
