My vote goes to the Ernie Ball Nickel Wound Slinky strings, I love them and have been using them for the past 4 or so years?

Strings come quite cheaply below $5 and that's one with good quality which will last a long time depending on your usage and how rough you are strumming.

Just re-read my post and I find I have changed to All EJ-16's, EJ-17's or EJ-12's depending on the guitar. No longer using Bluegrass and once the True Mediums I have are gone, I probably won't be using them. I only put them on one guitar anyway.

The lightest strings are typically an .010 and the heaviest a .059, here are some advantages of light strings vs heavy strings:
Lighter gauge strings:
are generally easier to play
allow easier bending of notes and fretting
break more easily
produce less volume and sustain
are prone to cause fret buzzing, especially on guitars with low action
exert less tension on the guitar neck and are a safe choice for vintage guitars
Heavier gauge strings:
are generally harder to play
require more finger pressure to fret and bend notes
produce more volume and sustain
exert more tension on the guitar neck
