Whatever your favorite brand of guitars strings is for 6 and 7 strings. Just add another string or 2 and you're golden!
Most here will agree that building your own custom sets is the way to go for 8's.
Ive found D'Addario to be MY favorite string company. They have great tone, and dont die in a week. This is the set that i use on my RG2228 and its perfect in my taste.
D'Addario Strings : XL Nickel Round Wound : EXL140-8 Nickel Wound, 8-String, Light Top/Heavy Bottom, 10-74
If i were you, i would give it a shot, and see what you think. its alot cheaper than piecing together a set, and it will give you a good starting point so you can decide if you like them.
whats the Gauges i am guessing better then stock.
All Kerly strings are seasoned between minus 320F and plus 350F to reduce microcracking. This process makes our strings sound better and last longer.
I just use elixirs because:
1- I couldn't discern between D'Addarios and Elixirs though a tone test.
2- Elixirs last 99999 times more
3- I'm lazy and I don't like changing strings! hahahaha
