What gauge guitar strings should I buy for my Epiphone DR-90 Acoustic Guitar?

I’ve read many times that for beginners light gauge strings are better, but I’ve also read that some gauge guitar strings may not be “compatible” with certain guitars. I don’t want to buy guitar strings that aren’t going to work on my guitar. Can someone please help clarify this for me? I don’t know where else to turn.

.010 are the best way to go. Anything heavier you will need to adjust the intonation, truss rod etc. Lighter strings are ok to use but don’t ring as clear as .010′s. It’s a matter of preference while keeping in mind your intonation can be greatly affected by too light or too heavy a guage.
