Interesting, the players I admire tend to use the lighter strings.

Would be cool to know the action each player uses as well?

I’d settle for knowing which specific strings they use. Most of the listings include only the manufacturer. There are 8 separate lines of D’Addario strings for electrics, for example.

A little elbow grease is needed for specific info , and then, it might be "somewhat" different. for ex:

well I tried chatgpt and this what I got:

Jesse van Ruller, a renowned Dutch jazz guitarist, is known for his exceptional skill and innovative approach to guitar playing. While there is no widely publicized, specific brand of guitar strings that he is known to exclusively use, most professional jazz guitarists, like van Ruller, typically choose strings that offer a balance between tone, durability, and playability. Common brands among jazz guitarists include:

• D'Addario (particularly their flatwound strings like Chromes)
• Ernie Ball (often for their Slinky line)
• Elixir (known for their coated strings that offer long-lasting tone)
• Thomastik-Infeld (particularly the flatwound Jazz Swing and Bebop series)
• DR Strings (often used for their unique tone and feel)

It’s likely that van Ruller might use one of these brands, or another similar high-quality set of strings, depending on his specific preferences for tone and playability. You could also look up interviews or gear breakdowns where he may have shared his preferences.
If you're looking for strings suited for a jazz sound like van Ruller's, flatwound strings or roundwound strings with a smooth feel would be a good place to start.

AI has perfected the art of the non-answer, it seems. They must be training the language models on political speeches.

[Stringswinger]

I have been told that Jim Hall, who mostly used 11's during his career, was using 10's in the last few years that he performed.

[Woodstove]

at least we know the specific TI Strings that George uses.

Often I think they must have scooped up all those horoscope writers who lost their jobs when magazines and journals stopped

According to an interview in Guitar Player magazine, Ed Bickert said he used Ernie Ball 10–46 round wounds, although Lorne Losfky apparently said that Ed used heavy strings. The Ernie Ball set that he cited in the interview would have had a plain G, and Jim Hall also said that he used a plain G. Big, heavy, flatwound strings are not necessary for a nice jazz tone, apparently.

I think that at this point we can't take AI's word for it.

I have been trying 11’s for archtop and steel string. But I don’t know many who admire me. ?

I’m using .11s on my 335 and I’m broadly reviled

Oh my goodness!

in case anybody is interested in the answer, I’m fairly sure that JvR uses John Pearse ‘jazz’ strings

I've got 8's on my headless, setup as 'extreme low as you can go'. Plugged into a long chain of gear, you can't tell from the sound. 11's are easier to setup 'extreme low as you can go' than 8's
