Poly/Multi hybrid

I am using a hybrid for the first time. Picked Pro Hurricane (17) for Mains and Babolat Excel (16) for crosses. I usually string syn gut or multi at 60# on a CP stringer. My question is at what tension should I string the Pro Hurricane? Some sources site 3# higher to account for intial tension loss and others state 5% less to account for stiffness of poly compared to syn gut or multi that I normally use.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Do I string the crosses (multi) at normal 60# tension? Thanks for the help.
 
i've tried that on a Volkl (my friend's), the first day after stringing, felt like a steel board, not a wooden. the vibration and shock is unimaginable. that's 58/56lb. i'd reduce the tension of Hurricane to 55lb. or just just another string.
