Help with Blues gauges

[LesPaul95]

Hey guys I own and Epiphone Les Paul and I have Ernie Ball Power Slinkys .11-.48 and I'm inspired by Page, Clapton, and Vaughn. i realy need to know if my string choice is right for my music. I've considered getting .10-etc. but im not sure if i should. Ive grown used to these strings and get good tone out of them, but would I be able to play better with lower gauges? (PS. another problem is that I like to play the occasional fast Van Halen or Paul gilbert lick)
Thanks, Jake
