Replacing Guitar Strings

What kind of guitar strings should I get?

I can play a lefty Ibanez GIO, and this is my first time to replace the chains. With my first set of strings can be tuned down a step. I set down 1-2 steps down. What kind of strings should I get? Can a guitar take some kind of string? I can play metal music.

Most guitars can take any type of chain. I play metal and my favorite team is D'Addario string 10-46. (Orange package). They can take steps 1-2 of detuning and have a bright sound that really brings you play dynamically. Chains are perfect for me.
