neither, i go for GHS Fatties. Guitar Center sells them 10 for 20... or if you me 15. but they are good, not just cheap. i also used to use martin electric strings until i got rid of my LTD. they only make them in 11's, which would kill my tele or the Diabetic Special.

well i have used martin electric (cause thats all my uncle has at his shop) and they are all right but i still perfer my old friend ernie.but martin picks .88mm man u cant ask fo better one.they last a very long time to.but currently im using a peso(not on songs with tradional chords) but in a select few songs and man it sounds great.i read sumthing in a magizine and thats what johnny gibbons uses (zz top).i reccomend it.it gives it a nice scratchy sound.

I use Ernie Ball 9's. I've never had a problem with them, they are good strings.

ERNIES are great.
I use GHS's on my hard tails and Ernies on my Floyds.
all 9's

I use Ernie Ball Super Slinky set #2223, Austin City Strings 009, d'Aquisto Bronze 010 (for my hollow-body axe, gotta love that fat jazzy boom).

I used to use D'Addarios earlier, but I didn't like the feel (and smell Laughing

) of them. As for colour-coded strings, that's a nifty thing. But what if your colour-blind? Confused
