Get a set of 12s (Ernie Ball https://www.amazon.com/Ernie-Ball-Slinky-Nickel-Wound/dp/B0002E1J3Q/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1ROFRGSOZ8V1P&keywords=ernie+ball+not+even+slinky&qid=1555719375&s=gateway&sprefix=ernie+ball+not+even%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-2 )

Then, you can choose an 8 string set with a .74, which i recommend the GHS 13-74 (you could use this single set, but the higher 6 strings would be super tense), or the Ernie Ball 8 string.

I actually just tuned to drop F# on mine.

This is the string set I got, left off the high .010

27" scale. Tension is on the tighter end for me, but I play a lot of stuff tuned down to E as well, and honestly I prefer more tension for djentier stuff, can pick harder and get that snappy/sharper sound.
