Which gauge strings do you guys use? And how does it affect your playing?

    Breaking strings is not about the gauge you’re using. Either you need to refine your picking more, or (more likely) you have a breaking point on the guitar, usually the nut or the bridge, that needs to be addressed by a luthier or “home remedy” if you have confidence and interest. Switching to heavier strings would require a setup anyway.
