Default Rainsong H-DR1100N2 came hone with me

Went back to my local Mom & Pop store today and after some negotiations came home with a barely used H-Dr1100H2 with OHSC. Can anyone recommend a good light string for finger picking?

I'm biased but I've never met a guitar that didn't like Elixir PBs.
Very easy on the fingers too.

Elixer Nano 80/20 lights work well on mine.

I've never tried the Martin Retro strings. Forty plus years ago, I always used Martin Light Guage Bronze on my D18. Are they similar?
