Get a set of 12s (Ernie Ball https://www.amazon.com/Ernie-Ball-Slinky-Nickel-Wound/dp/B0002E1J3Q/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1ROFRGSOZ8V1P&keywords=ernie+ball+not+even+slinky&qid=1555719375&s=gateway&sprefix=ernie+ball+not+even%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-2 )
Then, you can choose an 8 string set with a .74, which i recommend the GHS 13-74 (you could use this single set, but the higher 6 strings would be super tense), or the Ernie Ball 8 string.

One of my guitars has Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky strings, and is tuned BEADF#B. No problems what-so-ever.
I went with Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky, which is 12 - 56 here, for both tunings. I find that in Drop-C, the action on my guitar raised a bit over time, probably meaning that even in that dropped tuning, there was a bit too much tension on the neck. I've since dropped it to Drop-A, and it's improved with the lessened tension. I'm still experimenting and trying to get the right setup.
