Disclaimer: I haven't tried the Elixers. I'm a fingerpicker, so my right hand influences gauge more than my left hand or my ears. I have an X7 and an X7 nylon. I use Martin Retro Custom Lights MM11 11-52 on the steel string. The best sound for me is Martin Retro Light Medium Laurence Juber's Choice MLJ13 light-medium 13-56, but my picking hand can't handle it. The MM11s still sound good.
