I've pretty much permanently settled on Ernie Ball Burly Slinky for my surf Strats (Fender and G&L). 11-52 (11, 14, 18, 30, 42, 52). Basically 11s up high and 12's down low. Great balance for me.

JM 11-48
Jag 12-52
Gretsch 11-52
solder the winds at the trem end
Use d’Dario as they are the cheapest and I’ve never found any major difference going to higher cost strings.
