A few guys like Dunlop strings. I can also recommend GHS.
I mostly use whatever I feel like using. D'Addario is it for now.
If you want something completely left-field there is Optima gold strings.

I use GHS boomers low, but my band tunes down to C. I did, however, use GHS before I started playing downtuned. 11's on my 24.75 and 10's on my 25.5 scale guitar. They last and they sound good. I absolutely can't stand D'addarios or Ernie Balls.

I've tried many kinds, but it doesn't seem to matter a whole lot what I use. I notice differences in construction, features, and materials more than I notice consistent differences across similar strings of different brands.

I've been using them for metal for 17 years and have only broke like 4, and 2 were because they were rusted all to hell.
Ernie Ball 10-46 for me.

Having used d'addarios, DR's, EB's, boomers, and elixirs.... Elixirs last 20 times longer(literally) than the rest of them. They also have more tension, so i can go smaller without going sharp while fretting or over-bending.
My main guitar has a 6-month old set of nanowebs, and they are STILL bright and lively. As long as you don't let them tarnish, theyll last a very long time......well worth the money.
D'ad's would last me about a week or less eith normal play time. EB's were usually already dead and lifeless right out of the package. I wouldnt use them for free at this point.
I normally use their hybrid sets, 9-46 on 25.5 scales and 10-52 on the les paul.
