On my Baby T, I used to use Elixir nano PBs in light guage. The PBs offer a fuller tone with more bass than the 80/20s, which is pretty important given its diminutive body size. But recently, on a lark, I tried Elixir's medium-light PBs (what I normally use on my full-bod Taylors), and really like the difference. The enhanced bottom really helps, but the light treb strings still feel "normal" for bends and playing up the neck.
BTW, the factory does not recommend using mediums on the Baby for structural reasons; I asked. But I'm rolling dice with the med/lights as a compromise in string tension. And so far, so good.
