As long as they are the right gauge and a decent make I don't really care.

The only problem with D'addarios are the packaging where they link 2 strings together. It's ok if you're doing a full string change, but awkward if you are changing a single string in a hurry on a dimly lit stage. Which is why I take a pink set of EBs to gigs because each string is then in a separate envelope.
I still play 11's, but I'm and old stick in the mud

For a 24.75 scale I like elixir optiwebs they have a nice tension to them that makes them feel the same as my fender scale guitars.
All my guitars now are 25.5" and I'm on 10s in drop D. I'm in the process of retuning down to C though, but I'm going to stay with the 10s for now and see how I get on
On the unwound strings, how is any string going to last longer than any other? I’ve tried Elixir’s ages ago and they went furry where the plastic coating wore. Nasty.
Ive just always used Rotosound 10’s on pretty much everything, but I’d be intrigued to try something a bit different.
They do seem to lose their shine after about 1 gig, but I can’t imagine any other string being any different??
I very rarely break strings, and I’ll change them every couple of gigs depending how much they’ve been played during the week.
