Default String Questions?

Always used Nanos. Tried some Martin SP 80/20's and wow, I liked them! Louder, more sustain, and more clear. The Martin lights are also thicker in the G and bass E string which I like. So, could someone tell me the difference between the 80/20 Bronz Wound and the Phosphor Bronze Wound? Are the Phospher Bronze more muted?

I also see that DAddario has an 85/15 Great American Bronze. Very cheap. Why 85/15 vs. 80/20? Markley has an 92/8 Phos Bronz. Is that better yet? Help!

The phosphors will be a little brighter. I like the all bronze strings on my Martin guitar, makes a very deep and complex tone. The percepted muted sound is one reason some of us don't like Elixer strings that much. I personally like Pearse and D'Addairio strings the best, but YMMV.
