Heavy sound!

Hey guys, I've been looking at new strings lately, and me and my guitarist decided we are going to tune down half a step all of the time. I already figured that .105 gauge strings will do the trick, but now i just want to know what strings i can buy that are that gauge that will give me a really heavy tone.
Thanks

For me, DR's are the best. Either DR's or Dean Markley Blue Steels.

Alright cool. Just checking again, just to make sure, a .105 gauge will be enough tension for tuning to Db-Ab-Db-Gb? Whole step down on the E string, and half a step down on A, D, and G. Do you think the Dean Markley 2676 blue steel mediums will do the trick?
