What gauge string do you use for your high E string? And why?

I use .015....I have no reason other than, that is the way the package from SIT and GHS came.

0.015

It's fat enough to get good tone ... yet not too stiff which is associated with inharmonicity

I went to .016, it seems to give better sustain and harmonics.
