I would recommend GHS C6 lap steel strings. Each different tuning for lap steel uses its own string set, but C6 is the most common and versatile.
Oh also you might get him some finger and thumb picks. You don't really have to use them, but some people like to.
I started from day 1 with picks - a pair of National NP2s and a large Dunlop 9023p.
Since then I have tried on several occasions to pick without them, and it was like trying to play with mittens on.
I had to tweak the Nationals a little to get the right 'wrap' over the end of my fingers, and I've trimmed down the end of the Dunlop a little too. But otherwise they work well for me and I would buy them again.

You can find a whole bunch of things like that by just searching guitar finger picks on amazon...
