which gauge is the softest? or are they all the same?

What the title says. Would a 17 be any easier on your arm than a 16 or 18?

All other things being the same, the thinner the string the softer it should feel.

Yes. If you look at this chart:

the overwhelming tendency, with a given string, is for the thinnest gauge to be the softest.
