Any regular string gauge will work fine for D ( preferrably 11's ), if you want to use Bb tuning you're going to have to have a different set. And if you tune down, that means that the tension of the strings decrease, and not increase, and the neck will react accordingly. Its not all that great for the neck if you're tuning all the strings down on and off.
