Dear classical guitarist, how do you guys determine the string tension to use? There's a lot type of strings on the shelves so how do you choose?

I used to believe Luthier Concert Gold strings are the best for my guitar(Admira Teresa) but a walkaround in Google tells me D`addario receive more fame and support from classical guitar sites. I even saw the statement "D'Addario Pro Arte best picked for Admira Teresa". So I suspect is because I chose the wrong tension string of D`addario that's why It doesn't sound nice on my guitar. I plan to give D`addario another try, (since it's so hard to find Luthier strings in msia) So how to know which string tension should I choose for my guitar? Also another factor to consider is the bass strings, should it be silver or bronze? Thx
