I did vote in the poll. Just surprised not to see Ernie Ball on here.

On my martin Dreads that I have, the new Aluminum Bronze really makes them a better sounding Martin, much less bass overload.

However, I did have issues with those breaking more than others, so the new Paradigm strings should be interesting!

As far as D'Addario, the nickel Bronze sound amazing to my ears on the Martins.

I've used most everything in the past. Used Elixers for a really long time and then switched to D'Addario. Now I'm sponsored by Nicola strings and I'm really happy with them. They're uncoated but last a really long time.
