Tried a few - D'Addario mostly - mediums and lights, and much preferred the mediums, but have recently changed to medium Elixir coated strings - bliss!

I like D'Addario as well w/ phosphor bronze fourth string (although I'll be getting some elixir strings for my birthday next week to try)

I always found Gibson's Earl Scruggs to be very good, though I also like Stelling and AMB. You can't go wrong with any of these...
