What strings do you use and why?

I’m digging the D’Addario NYXL also, recently switched.
I do the 11-56 on my mayones which drop c#
10-46 on the standard tuned guitars
 
I like the D’Addario NYXL 10s or 11s
I think the regular XL strings sound slightly better at first , after a week they’re pretty much dead even and the NYXL keep sounding good for a very, very long time.
 
When I can find them, I'm using Pyramid Maximum Performance 9-46 on everything but Strats and PRS with vintage-style tremolos. On those, I use 9-42, otherwise, they just don't feel right to me.

When I can't find them, I used Gibson Les Paul Signature, 9-46, or GHS Nickel Rockers, 9-42.

I used Thomastik-Infeld Plectrum for acoustics, 10s on my 12-string, 12s on my 6-strings for recording. I use Pyramid Premium Bronze Wound on my 6-strings, if I'm going to play out with them.

For my bass, Rotosound Jazz Monel Flatwounds, 45-130 (5-string).
