Those sounds like they'll fit the bill. NYXL's are my favorites for down tuning and on Floyd guitars.

Custom sets are friggin $$. They're the same cost as a pack of NYXLs. Use stringtensionpro.com to find out what tensions you want. I find that light top heavy bot work really well. < But more equalized than a standard pack. Then order the singles from stringsandbeyond.com. For example my set is: 10, 13.5, 17, 28, 38, 52.

I played GHS, SIT, DR, Ernie Ball, etc...and i prob like them in that order as well.
Absolutely agree with you here. Ive never once broken a string with a d'Addario, and they seem to hold their composure and last longer than the rest too so its a win either way.

I use the standard D'Addario XL 10-59 on my Jackson 7-string. Works very well :cool2:

For epic tone. The xls are crisp and the nyxls are juicy. You can also optimize your gauges instead of using the retarded ones that come in a pack.

B tuning?
Go heavier gauge. At least 11s.
Have a look at the dunlop heavy cores too if you are wondering about brands.

but the scale is 26.5, 11 maybe will be too much

Start with the regular 10-59 set. On one hand, I agree with Clint’s assessment of stock string gauges being off, but on the other, it sure is convenient to use strings available everywhere.
What king of amp do you use?

I think so. The thicker strings, especially the low B, gets more weight. Sounds bigger, less thin.

Re: Daddario Nyxl 10 59 the right choice?
Since you're not a millionaire, you probably shouldn't be buying $12 strings. If I weren't an amp owning millionaire, I probably wouldn't bother with them.
However, I did put a set of NYXL 10-46 on a guitar quite awhile ago (maybe last year sometime?) and they're still good. I'm going to try a set on my Strat soon. It stays in tune really well with XL strings, so I'm curious to see how the NYXLs do.

but a set of strings are totally affordable, a mesa boogie dual rectifier costs the same than a good car in my country
