My faves when I can get them are D'Addario Slow Wounds but have been using Warrior custom strings (D'Addario made) for a couple years now but I am currently switching over to Slinky5's. I do prefer Nickel over Stainless though, Nickel feel better to me and give me more of the tone that I go for. I've never really strayed from D'Addario so this leap to EB Slinks is a little spice for my mundane string life! 
But strings are like barbers, you find one you like and stick with them until they die or you do

I have always liked Power Slinkys...I like playing bigger gauges & wish Ernie Ball would come out with a 12-56 set with a plain unwound G, but until that happens Power Slinkys get me by.
Thomisk-Infeild for bass, best I've tried out of five brands, I like the 'feel'. Hated Rotosounds, weren't bright or punchy.
I like the Eb heavy/skinny set for elc. guitar, but don't feel they last well. I recently found a five year supply of old Lawrence strings and like those, as did SRV.
DRs' for acoustic.

who makes 'em??
Who actually make their own strings? I've been told that very few really do. Does Fender manufacture theirs?.....Does Ernie Ball?.....GHS??? Just curious because if you buy a set that are packaged pretty but are bought from another supplier, are you getting the best quality and consistent strings? To me Fender strings have more tension (tighter) than others which can make the guitar play a bit stiff. Any one else share this observation?

that sorta reminds me of the whole "tube rebranding" thing. i think theirs litterally only like 5 companies that produce the tubes. so all you groove tubes fans are really only buying a Sovtek or Chinese at double or triple the price! groove tubes does not make tubes! same goes for ruby tubes etc.... i use JJ's and SED Svetlana's since they are the ownly companies that actually manufacture high end audio tubes...................so i'm way off subject now. i use D' addario 11-49's and 10-52 sets.

D'Addario XL 110's (.010-.046), tried EB's (same guage) but they were too "slinky" for me.
