I've tried Fender, GHS, Dean Markley, and Gibson...Super Slinkys are the best by far...although, for my acoustic, I have tried the Black Diamond Coated strings and LOVE THEM!!!...I might try a set on one of the electrics and see what they do....regardless, I love the EB strings

    I play Super Slinky strings on all my electrics. I haven't used any other strings for ages. I remember that I tried GHS Boomers, and SIT, and those cryo ones (Blue Ice or something like that?)... anyway, the others didn't make the grade. They either broke too easily (GHS), or felt odd (SIT), or didn't last very long (the Blue-somethings).

    Now that I've got a MusicMan Petrucci guitar on order, it looks like I'll be playing 10's on that one (Regular Slinky), since that's the string the factory recommends.

    For my acoustic I think I use Dean Markley's. I remember trying Earthwood strings once and I didn't like them for some reason. I'll have to give them another spin. Maybe they were too buzzy or something.

    I just tried out EB Slinky R&R EB2252 009-046 on my Strat HSS, which sounds
    very good, but slightly too soft for me. I used Fender original Bullets (nickel
    wound) before.
    I going to stay at EB so far, but wanna try nickel wd. instead of pure nickel
    next - and 010's or 011's

    any idea how far you can go with string gauge, without harmin' her?

    On my Stingray 4 I used to exclusively use Elites Stadium Stainless 50-110.

    Now I use Elixir 45, 65, 80, 100. Expensive, but they feel great & promise to last for ages.
