D'Addario XL 120s for me (9-42). Sometime I'll go with a 10-52 set if I think the guitar calls for it.
On the plus side, the tone is good and they seem to retain their tone for a pretty long time. But, I find they are a little too bright for the first couple of hours and they need to be "worked in" as they seem to have a little more tension than other brands at first.
It's been a while since I auditioned other strings - but I remember thinking GHS Boomers and Darco were good also!
