Relative tension: 10's vs 11's; Regular vs Silk and Steel; Brands ranked by tension?

Which action height?
I own a Du Pont MD50, with which I am immensely happy. When I first started playing Gypsy Jazz, I was only concerned with comping, and my Savarez Mediums (red silk) floated at what I saw as an ideal height with my N.2 bridge. Now, after buying Michael's book on solo picking, I have noticed that when I use the rest-stroke I…
