I personally don't like high-tension strings one bit, but low tension strings have too much bend to them. Mediums for me all the way.
I have found the following two strings to be pretty good at creating an all around good tone for my two guitars. The Augustines actually were amazingly quick to stabilize and quit slipping out of tune, so they might be my favorite. I'm not sure yet.

As for when to change strings, I figure about every 100 hours of play time or so. I've seen some people suggest cleaning your strings by removing them and soaking them in an ammonia solution, but that looks like way too much work when I can buy a decent pair for $10.
I'd love to see other people's string preferences as well.
