GHS Boomers on my electrics.
Adamas Phosphor bronze on my 12 string.
And Augustine Reds on my classical.

I used to use Super Bullets on my Mustang, until the set I used disappeared.

I used to use only Fender 150XLs for the first 5 years of my playing. After that, I switched to Ernie Ball Super Slinkys. Of late, I've been toying with the idea of throwing a set of 150XLs on again, 50% for "Auld Lange Syne" and 50% because I remember that I really did like them until I found the Slinkys. I'll be the first to admit though, after 35 years of the Slinkys, old habits are hard to break and of course, I switched for a reason. Another deterrent to switching back is that I've noticed many places don't have the 150XL sets in stock and the ones that do, charge over $2 more per set for them than what my Ernie Ball set costs. In my opinion, there's absolutely no justifiable reason for the 150XLs to be more than the Slinkys and so, I'll just continue to toy with the idea until the powers that be aren't so 'proud' of them.

As long as the gauge is .010 to .046 (or heavier if I'm tuning to E flat) I really don't notice that much of a difference to be perfectly honest...

Whatever's available....

I use D'Addario 110s and Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys. Both are 10-46 sets, both are cheap, both are top quality strings.

D'Addario 11 to 49 on the American Deluxe
D'Addario 12 to 52 on the yamaha AEX 1500
Savarez high tension on the 1763 Ovation

reason's-D'Addario is the only string made in america, hermedically sealed, and I like how they color code the strings.

I used to use D'Addario Jazz Rock 11's, which gave me a great sound, but weren't the sound i was looking for.

lately i've been going in-between DR Tite-Fit 12's and Electro-Harmonix 12's.

Yes. I dig them alot. String life is good quality but they do chip down where you stum/pick but that is to be expected on any colored string.
