What strings do you use to play in C (2 steps down)?

[Jet Anderson]

I'm curious to know what people here use for stings to play in C (2 steps down)?

When I play through songs such as Dream Theater's Honor Thy Father, As I Am, In the Name of God and A Nightmare to Remember I use the following...

Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky Strings
Gauges .010 .013 .017 .030 .042 .052



I've seen the video when John Petrucci demonstrates the use of 'Not Even Slinkys' for songs from DT's Train of Thought to keep clarity and tone of the note but I find them to think and tight to use. I prefer something a little slacker when playing in this tuning.

Thoughts?
