in the beginning it does not matter. The first set you buy will start developing your ear as to what sound you want and what sound you don’t. I play D’Addario EJ 16s on many of my guitars. They are inexpensive, and after about 10hours of playing they sound pretty much the way I want to sound. After you try those try the SantaCruz Light strings. They are balanced tension strings and coated. They are expensive but last 3 times longer in my experience. The balanced tension strings may feel better for your fingers? (I’ve been told)…you decide. Then try some Elixirs. They are coated and are too slippery for my liking but others swear by them, again, you get to decide. It would be useful to know what gauge strings are currently on your guitar. To keep the same set up (the way the guitar plays, sting height) the replacements should be the same gauge.
