d'addarios 9's are my fav, they last longer than ernie balls for me, and they sound better imo

i use ernie ball 10-46 right now, but i am prolly gonna move to 10.5-48 or 11-50 soon, for standard, sound better for chording, plus any leads that i do play are clean or midly overdriven, jazz/blues type leads, so speed isnt really a factor in my gauge choice.
i would say balls are best, but daadarios are good strings as well. it all comes down to personal preference.

There are no such things as the best strings. Like MoonRaven said, it's all personal preference. Personally, all I use is Dean Markley Blue Steel strings. I've never had one break on me before, and the coating has never even come off them before.
I don't know what gauge you play, but here is the 10-46 gauge...

the reason the coating has never come off is because blue steels arent coated, they are cryogenically frozen, which supposedly makes them last longer, tone wise. good strings, i used to play the 11-52's all the time.

GHS Boomers .10-.46
They fucking own the d'addarios i've used so far. D'addarios tend to break somewhere near the bridge.
