Default baritone strings

I´m joining in a bit late...

I´ve made an 8-string acoustic baritone guitar last year ( like the Taylor 8-string) and
am now building a 12-string baritone guitar with a Florentine cutaway, 27 inch scale.
I´m wondering what string gauges would be fitting both of these two. With the 8-string I´m now using Elixir Phosphor Bronze ones which aren´t too bad.
Any alternative ?

For the 12-string baritone I´m still looking for the right strings and would like to know any alternative - if anyone has experience...

The 12-string Veillette baritone is using strings going down to 0.80
