Default Journey of660 Strings suggestion

I just ordered a new Journey Of660 and understand that it comes with Elixir nanoweb PB lights. I am not a great fan of coated strings. Has anyone tried something different on this guitar? I am partial to 80/20's on my CA as it seems too dark with PB's. Thanks for any recommendations.

I've tried a few different sets, and like the aluminum bronze the best.

I have the OF420B rather than the CF OF660, and I’ve found that D’Addario Nickel Bronze sound fantastic and last a long time on this guitar.

PB strings were too bright for my taste.
I tried installing nickel roundwounds (Thomastic Bebop) and I liked result very much. Very balanced tone and good sustain.
Since then I put Lace humbacker on guitar, so now I have to stick to electric guitar strings, but I mainly play without amp.
DR Zebra (which is half nickel half bronze wound) also performed very well.

Many of our professional artists play Ernie Ball Aluminums - so I'd check these out too.
