I never use a wound G, even on my hollow Gretsch. My Thin Skin '52 came with Fender 250's 10-46 but I changed them out for pure nickel Fender 150's 9-42. The only reason I bought the 150's was they were the only pure nickel wound strings in the store in that guage. I'm pretty much sold on pure nickels on my Tele, but I'll be looking to try another brand for my next string change (the 150's have been decent so far). I've heard good things about GHS Burnished Pure Nickels (Callaham highly recommends them for Tele's) and Snake Oil Pure Nickels. I've also used Curt Mangan strings on my Gretsch and they are excellent, but can't find a local dealer who stocks them.
