I used to go lighter, but I love the heavier strings, especially the low ones
which otherwise go sharp with bar pressure. I use John Pearse strings like this:
.018 D
.026p A
.032 F#
.038 D
.048 A
.068 D
They are tight enough that they tune down to C just fine and are growly down
there. I often keep one of my National Model D guitars down to C.
I use my eight string the most, though, tuned in D add 9.
.014 F#
.016 E
.018 D
.026p A
.032 F#
.038 D
.048 A
.068 D
