Trying to find a good heavy gauge string for an electric, any thoughts?

GHS Boomers sound good to me and are long lasting

I'm hooked on Elixir Nanoweb 11's for electric.

If you change the strings to a different guage you may have to re setup the guitar.

I like Ernie Ball. I use 10's though but they make heavier guage. I'm a totak freak about changing strings though - I pretty much change them a couple of days before every gig unless I have 2 back to back. I just like the sound when they are just new and broken in for a couple of hours of use.
I also don't like it when the D string gets gouged up by the frets on the underside of the string. That tends to make that string weak and with my luck that's just begging for a broken string during a gig. Since I've gone with this regiment I haven't broken a string once - ever.
Like I said, I'm kinda freakish about it.
