I find the .011-.048 gauge a good fit for the 24.75" scale. It's just a bit tighter in E standard, and it's slightly relaxed in D tuning.
Sound and quality wise, I like Ernie Ball's consistency. They sound as the strings should sound, last long, don't break, and over all these years I haven't had a bad string once.
Well, and the set of three is three times the joy :)
