Guitar Strings for finger-picking

Hi all !!!

Hope everyone's fine and doin Great

I wanted to know something on Guitar-String Gauges. I really am not able to understand the basics of string gauges and a few articles I google'd are just confusing me. I basically understand that there are Medium and Light gauges strings.

But can someone please suggest me which one's are best for finger-picking and which gauge is the best. I asked my local store too, but they have no idea about them. They just say , what they have is the best and are only available. I have to buy my strings online only and hence kindly suggest me guys, which ones should i go for.

Thanks and Warmest Regards

Kush

Thumbs up   StringThing

Thanks for the technical talk. I haven't been playing guitar long enough to catch the fever;
my stand-up bass is another story.
