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).

* 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?

On a 25.5" scale length guitar, I think 9s are the way to go (the Super Slinky 9-42 set). I don't notice much difference on the high string between 9 and 10 gauge, but the difference on the low string between 42, 46, and higher) is noticeable to me. Thinner strings also make a lower action easier to obtain, because the vibrating string has less chance of hitting frets further up the fretboard. BUT, as also noted, string gauge can affect the floating tremolo on a Strat, and the intonation on all guitars.
For the LP, 10s are pretty typical. I play 9s on mine just fine, though. Note that a thinner low string will often sit lower in the nut, which may or may not cause issues. Most of the time, it won't, but if the action was already really low, the thinner string's lower position in the nut might cause some buzzing.

I'm not sure if you know the answer to this, but if the guitars were setup for 10 gauge strings and low action, and I were to add a lower gauge string (for example the 9 gauge to the strat which I am considering), would that cause issues where the action would be even lower? Or is it close enough that it won't matter? I read somewhere that any time you change the gauge of a string you need to adjust the action, but I'm wondering if going from 10 to 9 will really be that much of a difference.
TLDR - I think I'm going to order 9 gauge strings for the Strat and stick to 11 gauge for the LP for now, but might also buy some 10's just so I have them.

I guess common sense says if the action is already low and then I add a thicker gauge (like if I went up to a 14 gauge from a 10 or 11) then it would definitely need an adjustment?

last question... what would you recommend for an acoustic guitar from the Ernie Ball line/the sale items in this thread? how about a hollow body Gretsch? i've never replaced the factory strings, while they're on sale, feel like i should go ahead and stock up on everything i need!

On the hollow body, I'd work from the scale length. If 24.75", maybe 9 or 10s.
