Coated string equals coated sound, I pass regardless of brand.
All my Martins get DR Sunbeams, but I Martin SP's just as much, they just don't last as long. I tried Elixers years ago, took them off the same day, warm guitars IMO don't need coated strings muddying them up, but coated strings work great on really bright guitars.
Experiment, see what you like, and enjoy that HD-28, nice guitar!
