I guess the lower the tension the easiest I play and faster. But if this is true why do they manufacture hard tension strings? i tried all, i think its all a matter of personal choice wich u feel u perform better with...also depends on your guitar and what it responds best too they all have advantages and disadvantages...higher tenshion, its more secure..requires more force, u feel it on litlle things eg.. pulloffs, guitar dosent feel as responsive, expecially after the new strings start wearing off ( also depends on the guitar , some guitars love high tenshion) but since they not moving around under your hand as much its more secure, cleaner imo..also feels eazyer and more secure to do clean picado lower tenshion feel nice under your right hand when doing rasqueados, feels responsive..u feel like u have alot of power...but its also eazyer to make mistakes or sound unclean and feel unsecure...its all down to personal taste, feelings, preference, what guitar u use and whats most important to you..if you someone whos a very nervous when playing in front of people i recommend high tenshion..your hands have to be very relaxed when playing low tenshion in front of people imo...your chances of making mistakes due to nervs are somewhat higher...since more precisse and relaxed and even more clinical finger placing is required, expecially on the left hand.....but then again it could suit someones guitar and playing perfectly ...u never know really until you try all noone could tell you wich you would prefer and responds best to your guitar...they all have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on what u looking for i use high tenshion atm but i still havent decided whats 100% my favourite....i keep trying diff tenshion every now and then
