Monel is inherently less squeaky than bronze. (I personally can't abide the anti-squeak lubricants like FastFret, etc. Or Elixir strings, with their slick feel, either. Too WD-40ish feeling for me - no thanks.)
Monel (Martin Retro) strings have less overtone chime for static chords than bronze, but still more than flatwounds, and they produce more dynamic volume than silk & steel.
I would think that either monel or nickel bronze would work well for you.
Who made the flattop that you are playing in the video clip?
