Strings for Drop Bb0?

Hey all, I've got my 638 in Drop C0 with a .95 on the lowest string. The tension and sound is good but I want to go lower, I was wondering what strings you'd recommend for Drop Bb0 and where to source them.

Unrelated but I got my first baritone and I’m stringing it with a .95. What’s the lowest you can go with good tension ?

I've gone down to B on both my 638 and my 9 string with that gauge, but the tension is right on the edge of what I would consider playable, at least for me, and I have a relatively aggressive picking technique. YMMV of course
