I tap more than any other technique. I find that low tension and a low action helps, but of course this means your other techniques have to be more gentle to avoid excessive fretbuzz, it's a compromise.
If you want a set for G#C#F#BE (G# standard) and G#BF#BE (drop B) it's a good idea to swap out the .118 for a .124 to keep it above 30 pounds when tuned to B. Circle K Strings recommend staying above 30 pounds for the best performance.
You could build the set from their single strings .158 .124 .088 .064 .046. This set will minimise any tension imbalances in your 2 tunings. If you look at the Link Removed you can see this set can be created by equalising string tensions at the average of the 2 tunings G# C F#BE. All strings at equal tension and the .124 either slightly tighter or slightly looser.
