I’ve pretty much settled in on carbons for the first and second, but I’m on the fence about the third.

Can an experienced string experimenter share what informed their choice?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The clarity of a third string depends on the guitar. That the Galli Genius Carbonio GR90 Hards are perfect on two of mine, they're not quite 'there' on another. Try the wound Savarez, for the experience, and give the unusual and impressive Aquila Rubino Normals a try.
