Everly B-52s in .10 because they have a great tone, are tarnish resistant, and I have yet to break one. When I can't find Everly's I like Gibson Brite Wires also in .10 :smoker:

D'Addarios for everything but my Strats, which I use Fender Bullets on.

Ernie Ball Power Slinky (11-48)
GHS Boomers DYM (13-56)
I've used EB for years. They tend to last longer and they don't sound as bright as some other brands (which I like).
I've just recently started using GHS on one of my Strats. I've always avoided them because "Boomers" sounded cheezy to me, but I've liked them since the first set I installed.

I can't believe DR came in that low on the poll ... is it the expense?!
I use DR Pure Blues 10's for every guitar except my Jem (no PBs in 9's), so for that one I use Tite Fit.

D'addario! Out of GHS, Ernie Ball, Gibson Britewires and Fenders, it's a total winner. Sounds awesome, has a long life (never broke a string with 'em), and has an amazing clarity and flexibility. I can defenitely hear the difference after I've replaced them with another brand of strings. I use the EXL110 (.10-.46) and will occasionally (they are extremely hard to find here in Holland) the EXL140 (.10-.52)

D'Addario 9-46. I need that special top-end shine in my tone. Besides, they last longer than anything else under the torture of my pick attack. I like the tone of the majority of Ernie Balls but I break them way too often. Others listed don't really work for me.

I used to play Ernie Ball Slinkies, but I've switched to Dean Markley NickelSteel. I still love Slinkies, though.... I made the switch because of superior quality, tone and value to anything I've found before.
D'Addarios are too bright for my liking and Fenders don't last long enough. I haven't tried GHS, SIT or DR's.... I'd love to give them a shot someday.
