10s is fine buy me. I don't need to have a big-dick contest. And Mr. Hendrix used 8s. So if he can sound massive with 8s. I should be alright with 10s.

ijust use 11s or 12s because i'm that's what i am used to, i play acoustic guitars at home mainly, and bass in the band, so playing on thick strings don't feel so weird.

yeah they do tend to strech quite a bit compared to others, but i prefer them once they settle down, but i also leave my strings on until they are rusty as hell and ready to snap lol

Generally:
Electric 25.5" scale: 9's
Electric 24.75" scale: 10's
Acoustic: 11's
That said, I can never leave well enough alone and am always trying out dif strings and gauges. Right now I have 11's on my fav electric and 12's on the acoustic. I'm sure I'll cycle back soon though and then the insanity will start over again.
