Play what is the most comfortable to you. I don't use heavy strings for thicker tone or some juvenile "penis length contest",like one poster suggested. I play them because they feel the most comfortable to me, which keeps me from thinking about my playing. When I'm not thinking, I'm better able to get out of my own way and just play the guitar.

For every law of tone I see posted or written somewhere I can always seem to find someone who has broken it successfully.
