Its all about cost and what Im willing to pay for a set of strings...plus there has to be some quality there.

I use because of the cost.

Ive bought more expensive strings and wasnt that impressed so for the best value I go with these strings for my electric.

For the acoustic I use GHS.

I really don't have a favorite brand. GHS,D'Addario,Ernie Ball, DR are all great strings.

hmmm well i used accuwound for elecrtic. i thougbht they sounded really good, they dont break .. well theones i bought didnt they work really well,m i would recoemend them for anything.. heyre not really a big kind of string brand like earnie ball but work just as well.. not alot of people have heard about them, but if you ask them to deliver or if you go to like a ted browns.. they should have them , and for acoustic used earthwood. which sounds well.. hmmm.. bright but not too bright,it was a nice tone for a standard tuned acoustic.. i wouldnt know for drop d and what not.

Ernie Ball Super Slinkies are supposed to be really nice. My cousin uses them and he loves 'em. My fender came with fender super bullets on it already, and I personally love them, but I'd imagine they are pricey. D'addario XL is also good.

Not sure if anyone else had this problem however when I owned my fender strat years ago I tried many strings and the only strings that sound good on a fender were fender strings...I always had to buy the fenders which cost more because all other strings didnt sound right on the guitar...This was in the 90's when i bought and then sold it shortly after that...Im not sure all fenders are this way.

I've got DRs on my WRXT Warrior, and those are pretty sturdy, but still allow the nice bend I like. My dad's Les Paul's strings are like butter, but I need to ask him what he's using... I personally love his strings more than my dog.
