You'll probably be okay with the feel of the JM11's, and in spite of what "jflynnst" said, you might like TI's better, but I'd suggest trying the Mittle's(med) or Stark's(heavy).
Flatwounds will be higher tension than roundwounds of the same gauge, so you can use a lighter string & still drive the instrument, or get a bit less tension without going to dental floss.
The lights(weich) may have too thin a core, but otherwise, I'd look to something else as the cause of strings breaking, especially the Nut Slots.
P.S., I have JM11's on my Victoria, but I used a "10" instead of the 11's, they're working pretty well there, on a 13 inch scale.
