Nothing but pure nickel on all my stuff except my Baritone (can't find any?!).
I'm partial to GHS Burnished Nickels right now but those aren't the only ones I'll use.

I just put some EB Classic Rock and Roll strings on some of my guitars based on the recommendation of a tech I was talking to.
I put 11s on my LP Trad and 10s on my Legacy. I'm taking both guitars to a gig right now actually so we'll how they fare.

Haven't noticed more sustain. Maybe on the wound strings, and they are the ones that really differ, because the core is round and thinner, thus more nickel wound. They do last a little longer than the D'addario XL's I occasionally use.
The wound strings are not as loud, but I find that to give a very nice string balance on the Les Paul.
Softer and brighter at the same time in my opinion.
I use Pyramid Nickel Classics on my Les Paul and on my newly required Telecaster.

I just notice a bit less metallic tone on the wound strings, a tad less output. I keep the strings wiped down between playings and my hand's aren't seeping acid, so Its basically change the strings every 6 months - no extra life in my case.
I'm not as keen on GHS Nickel Rockers, like Burnished Nickels. Have some of the newer Fender Nickels on deck. D'Addario XL for the Stainless fretted Guits.

Update: Had the gig last night - slayed (if I may be so bold) - and those strings kicked ass. Held tune like a boss after 1 day on my guitar, sounded beautiful, felt great and responsive, and after a night of sweat and snot and probably other contaminates, they show no signs of corrosion.
A winner, I think. I'm going to stick with them for a while.

I like nickel, i like the feel and i like the sound. Pyramid are the only company that makes the perfect gauged set for me. However, i juts use dunlops currently cos they are cheap and seem to last longer.

I like pure-nickel wrap strings a lot. I use them on some of my guitars. I can't remember which ones, and I'm too lazy to look. Except I think the Les Paul and the 7-string Ibanez are among them.

I dig them for some things, but when I'm onstage, they tend to get lost while I play rhythm with the full band. For leads, they don't make very much difference anyway. I always end up putting some nickel coated steel strings on and am happy again. I guess I just dig having treble that I can get rid of with the tone control.
