Yeah, a lot of this strings out there sound similar to me and have similar wear.
My main string has always been the Earnie Ball Regular Slinky, it's bright and live and has good wear. Cheap. Flexible for bends, but the low end is fat enough for brown sound and heavy stuff.
The only other string I gravitate to is D'addario. It has a more full, bright, lively acoustic sound. I use it in medium gagues for my Gretsch because it's hollow body. I also use D'addario on my solid body jazz guitar, which has a great acoustic sound. IMO both guitars benefit from the more full acoustic sound of the string. I also use D'addario EJ16 light bronze wound stings on both my acoustic guitars.
I wish I had a more full experience with strings. I have only dabbled in GHS, Powerwound, Britewires, and DR. I experimented heavily with Dean Markley, but ultimately decided that there is nothing there I can't get with EB and D'addario.
I think I am pretty set with what strings I play now. However, I will have to look into nanowebs for my practice acoustic. I live in an apartment, and I play open mic nights only, so my main acoustic gets beat on a lot. I could really learn to like not having to change the strings out what feels like every 2-3 weeks. They are back to being dull again already, and it's frustrating. I could do with fewer string changes, even if there was a small cost/tone sacrifice.
