The lower the number, the lighter the string
I would not put a 10 set on a Taylor, especially if it is new. The lack of tension will not really give the soundboard a good shake, and that is what is required to produce tone.
I would recommend 12's on your guitar.
There are many fine brands of string. Elixirs are excellent, but they are not my favorite. But many on this forum love them.
If you try Martin light gauge phosphor bronze - either plain or the SP variety - your guitar will sound great.
