All those that come in a packet that says Ernie Ball on them

Seriously pal, nickel, stainless steel, titanium coated its all down to personal taste, suck 'em and see is what I say.

Definitely personal taste. I personally don't like coated strings, but there are guys out there who swear by them.

Some guys like stainless strings, but I like Nickel...

Try a bunch out and see what you like the most. Be sure to give them enough time to really tell how long they will last.

I'm with Grand Wazoo, though. Anything that says "Ernie Ball" on the front...

I use the RPS strings, personally...

I like the RPS nickel, good all around tone.

I'm only aware of one brand of guitar strings.

When I "string" up my guitar I only want the "real deal"!!!
