Need a bit of guidance related to string gauge for a 26.5 inch scale 7 string with an evertune bridge that will be tuned to drop G#.

Im a big ERRA fan and recently came across an interview where Clint said his running a 09-42 set with a 68 on the thickest 7 string for drop G# tuning.

I’m pretty new to 7 strings and extended range necks would I be better off going with a 10-46 set with a 68 on top instead to play it safe?

TLDR is 09-68 okay for drop G# given the 26.5 scale length or do I need to go heavier?
