Regarding the price, most retailers have these at the same sale price right now, so if you have rewards or a credit with a different store, it's worth checking (I know Sweetwater and Guitar Center both have this price).

Love 9s on most electrics myself, unless I'm going drop tunings mostly with it I might go 10s for like a guitar that's in Drop C

Any guitar with a floating bridge (like a Strat) will need to use a consistent string tension or be prepared to re-adjust the bridge. Going to a heavier gauge on any guitar can also cause the low strings to sit higher in the nut slots, raising the action and affecting tuning stability.
Most new electric guitars, though, ship with 9s or 10s, and I've not usually had too much trouble alternating between those two sets.

That's the inflation lesson folks. With fluctuating rates [Prices you can buy at per working dollar, same thing], then what's the down side of high inflation finally easing back down? Well, with averaging -3% a year (worse on many things) then that is cumulative yearly; dear folks. So even when 'better' then most things just cost a lot more. Why did you think gum was once a penny and coke was 25 cents? Why did you think a standard 3 Bedroom, one bath house was $10, 000 in the Civil 60's?
Not to be negative; there are good ways to LOWER prices.
Generally though cash is a poor and eroding investment. See the S&P. In your Roth whatever. Start when you are like 2. Set up auto contrib. DCA.
Check sites that show how to identify package differences on counterfeit strings.

* For my Les Paul, which specific strings would you guys recommend? I think I'm currently playing 10 or 11 gauges but can't remember... just wondering if there's a gold standard go-to for LP's?
* Same question for my Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster... what specific strings are typically used for these guitars and what gauge should I play?
