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.
