Well, G# is only one and a half steps lower than the normal 7-string tuning, right? So, that would be like tuning a 6-stringer down to C#. For that, I'd recommend medium gauge. I actually use 11 (or 12) to 52 on my 6 string guitar which I tune to D. So, medium gauge for it (which I'm guessing would be what you just listed as 12 - 52) would be the best. Is it drop-tune to G#, or all of em down one and a half steps? Eh, what the hell. I think either way it'd work as long as it's medium and not light.
EDIT: and remember, don't forget the necessary adjustments of your truss rod. Happy trails.
