I use medium action and I have jumbo frets and I also use an adjustable brass nut, so I adjust the action at the nut and bridge. If the action is too low, my fingers get stuck on the fretboard when bending. Also, if I do big up bends, my fingers can go underneath the lower strings, so I don't have to use more force to bend strings.
For 6 string guitars I set all the strings at the 12th fret to 6/64" (2.4mm). For 7 string guitars I set the lowest string to 7/64" (2.8mm) and the rest to the same as a 6 string. I set the nut at the 1st fret around 1/64" (0.4mm) to 2/64" (0.8mm)
These are the adjustable brass nuts I use. They make a huge difference how the action feels and the intonation no longer goes sharp on the first 3 frets. I dip each nut saddle's threads in wax, so they don't move when changing strings. I've installed these on all my 6 string guitars. They don't make them for 7 string guitars, so I bought 2, so I have 7 saddles, a 1/4" square brass rod, M3x0.5 tap and drill bit and T-Handle Ratchet Tap holder, so I can make my own.
