I use Luthier 20's. But it depends on the guitar. 30 is a harder tension, so you get a stronger bass sound, but the trebles are thicker I believe, so not as brite. My student likes Luthier 35, the dark basses for one of his guitars. It really depends on the guitar and how you like the tension. I say if you are not sure, buy a few different sets and try them out.

I use 30's. My guiter is still bright on the trebles. I like having thicker treble strings due to having thin bony fingers, the slightly thicker trebles make barre chords easier.

Henrik, Move closer to the bridge when you feel like diggin in mediums.

I prefer the 20 of all Luthier strings, but they are a bit on the soft side. At the moment I play Savarez Corum/Alianza high tension with a nylon 1st string (I hate carbon 1st strings ). Very powerfull set.
