Curt Mangans do, 10-36 but they are pricey. About $15.oo a set but still only a few bucks more than the D'Addario strings.
I like Bruce's comment about what it comes with and going from there. I tried flat wound strings once and while they felt great under the fingertips, they went dead faster than the regular wound strings. YMMV

A bunch of stuff with four strings
