A good compromise might be the Martin Monel "Laurence Juber" set; a "true medium" or "balanced tension" set (I use them on my D-15S and CEO-5, BTW), it consists of medium-gauge first/second/sixth strings and light third/fourth/fifth - should give you enough tension to drive the top without trouble, until you can get a handle on things...
