looking to re string some guitars, I've usually used 7's on my strats and 10's on my eps LP styles. but im looking to split the difference. plain steel but nickels are ok too.
 
I love D'Addario 9 - 46s on all my 25.5" scale guitars, but if you are asking about "cheapest", I doubt they are, not that the EXLs are expensive, but I'm sure there are some generic brands out there.

The cheapest solution is probably to bulk bulk 12 packs of the house brand from justrtings.com or somewhere.
 
Elixir are much cheaper than other brands for me to use . . . because they don't go dead sounding after a few days practice and require replacement again.
 
dick dale did not do a lot of bending :D

he actually started with a standard fender set 13-55 or something like that, then moved up to a 14-58, then 16-60.
 
7s work for billy gibbons, 8s for slide work. i think bb king used 8s too

Jimmy Page also used 7s, Yngwie uses 8s on top but heavier on bottom like 50/52 or something.
I use 9-46 and usually buy regular Ernie Ball, lately I've been trying out the NYXL D'addarrio which I like the feel of but are a bit on the brighter, zingier side.
