9s are pretty thin. You are going to have to beef up the tone with effects. The thicker the string the more warmth they have. 9s are good for huge bends but, that is about all they have going for them in my opinion. At the least, I would recommend 10s.
If your guitar was set up for 9s then switching to tens will lower the action. If your lucky, it will result in faster action, Otherwise you may have to adjust the truss rod if the strings fret out.
