If I can find them, Skull .12 -.56's. Those are my preference. If not, I like me some D'addario's.

I just switched a few months ago from DR to D'Addario and I love them.
.010 - .046 for standard tuning and .013 - .056 for C tuning.

DR Zebras. Faaavorite, but very few music stores carry them, usually have to order online.

I 2nd that, Cobalts are where it's at. I think the new MSteels are gonna be my new favorite, they're basically a more pure mix of cobalt with a military grade high carbon steel core wire.
D'Addario's are great, but after a week the nickel looses the best parts of it's tone.
I don't know if it was me or the strings, but I could never get those things to last more than 2 weeks before breaking.
I can go up to 3-6 months without having to change EB cobalts though, back when they had platinum strings they lasted me a literal 6 months before rusting or breaking.
Very smart of them to take them off the market... razz
