What set should I get? (power slinky, beefy slinky etc)
'ello.
I'm moving from .11's to .12 because I'm now tuning to E-flat.
I play blues, so theres alot of ye' ol' string bending. I was wondering if anyone could give me an in-sight to what type of set I should get. (Power Slinky, Regular, Beefy and etc etc)

Cheers.

well for .12 you got two alternatives:

Not Even Slinky
012, 016, 024p, 032, 044, 056
EB-2626

or

Medium Light
012, 016, 024w, 32, 44, 54
EB-2206

not even slinky got a plain g string which might hurt a bit

give both a try and see what you like best!

less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

I think Power Slinkys will suit you just fine. Beefys have really thick wound strings(.54-.42.-.30), so going right to them might take some time to get used to. But, just try experimenting!

Do yourself a favor, go back to 10"s and get the #2253 - you will NEVER look back!!!
