    Without context, this is such an uneducated comment. It all depends on the desired string tension, and bigger drops in tuning need heavier strings to maintain tension. Also shorter scales require heavier strings to maintain the same string tension that longer scales have with lighter strings. You've made it clear you don't understand this.

    Well they are on sale too! Their hybrid sets on sale too, all for the price OP posted. At least at Amazon anyway, didn't look at the other links.

    These are my favorite size and a decent deal. It's hard to find them under $5 a pack.

    How about "close" scale lengths like Les Paul (24.75"), PRS (25"), and Strat (25.5")? If you have a preferred gauge will the tension feel relatively the same or do you need to move up or down in string gauge to get the same feel?

    Watch Rick Beato on YouTube and learn. He did a whole video on string gauge. Has NOTHING to do with your hands!

    That's nonsense. One of the main factors when choosing your size for guitar strings is how comfortable the tension is with your hands.

    String feel is largely subjective on a per user basis, but it can be concretely stated that for a given string, decreasing the scale will decrease the string tension at a given frequency. Increasing the scale will increase the string tension at a given frequency. From there, you pick strings for your desired string tension.

    To me, it's abvious that there is less sting tension on a Les Paul than a Strat (given the same strings and tuning). There is an even more obvious difference to me on a 34" scale bass to a 32" scale bass.

    If all you're going to take away from that is his video explaining the PREFERENCE of tone, then that's not going to help sell the idea for people to move to lighter strings. I'm not going to play funk/rhythm on a set of 8 or 9s.

    be more mindful when you say something is better when you're not factoring in different playing styles or instrument types.
