I always play cgcf tuning,I've tried higher tension strings in the past ( Dunlop drop etc) I just stick with standard 105-50 gauge... Since my bass has been tuned like that for a couple of years I have no problems,a good action and sound. I love the flexibility of bending and slides with 105 strings.
All depends on how you play? Light/heavy fingers/pick .I'm a medium to heavy pick player.
