I have some experience with various tension-ed strings. But I wanted to wait for our Sage to answer first.
Tension also applies to how much punch you can get out of an unamplified guitar.
The higher the tension the louder.
Like Tomas, I prefer the middle of the road (Medium tension). the light tension are easier to play but I did not like the sound at all.
And with the high it was to difficult for me to play.
My advice is to stay away from extra high tension I have been told they can damage an instrument.
Maybe Tomas has some input on that. If I were you I,d experiment.
After all it,s your choice there’s no right or wrong.
