My StingRay will ship with: 45w-65w-80w-100w Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass #2834 and I'm assuming that that's what EB recommends, or at least somebody there thought that it matters enough to make the super slinky the default, rather than the regular. Is there any more info available on that?

Should flats be the same gauge? 45w-65w-80w-100w Ernie Ball Flat Wound Group III #2806
and what difference will I notice between those and these cobalts, please?: Ernie Ball Super Slinky Flatwound #2814
