i've used 10's for metallica and pantera. you'd be better with 11's for pantera, but then again if you wanna play anything else, go with the 10's. plus if you use 10's you wont struggle as much to play dimebags extreme bend's.

really could be a tech fault though so if there is a pattern to where they are snapping we could help rectify it :)
