Question Resonator Strings

Does anyone have any recommendations for resonator strings? What works best? Coated/uncoated, medium/heavy guage, brand, etc.
Thanks for your input.

it depends on what music you play and with what technique

bottleneck: medium/heavy strings
fingertsyle: light/medium strings

both coated and uncoated work. Look for strings with a warm sound, since the resonator is already very "tinny"

I usually play bottleneck: Robert Johnson type songs.

What brand strings, in your opinion, sound "warm"?
