What strings should you get for an ukulele?
There is a large variety of choices. You will have to experiment with various strings to find which kind you like best and that sound the best on your ukulele. Nylon is pretty much the only thing used now, though you can find aluminum wound nylon strings. Most players really like the Aquila Nylgut strings. I like the feel of them. I know at least two professionals that prefer D'Addario strings (Jake and Aldrine). Traditional players using vintage instruments like the Martin strings. It will also depend on the tuning, I go with the standard G'CEA.

Is there any formula for choosing the strings on an ukulele?
The first choice you have to make is what tuning you are going to use. The most common is the G'CEA with a high G, meaning the C is actually the lowest note. You can also get a set of them with a fairly common GCEA, and there are a number of less common tunings. There are many types of strings and they all have their fans. You may have to experiment with different strings and find the type that you like and that sound best on your ukulele. Aquila Nylgut strings get good reviews and I have them on five of my ukuleles. I have Martins on two of my vintage ukuleles. Jake Shimabukuro and Aldrine Gerraro use D'Addario strings. And the individual ukulele may work better with one type over another. That you will have to figure out on your own.
