The ernie ball 2047 is a great string set. If you like bending notes the 10 e string is more than malleable to your every move. These strings are the brightest silk and steel I've found yet and give a really nice sound. The 50 e string on the bass end  is a bit noisy when you slide your finger down it, but its accoustic music, its supposed to have unique sounds. These last a fair amount of time and don't completely lose their tone if you play the dickens out of them and wait a bit to change them.
