Here's what you do: if you want the D'addarios that are NOT coated, get the phosphor bronze lights. If you want coated strings, I guess I would reccomend starting with the D'addarios as they are a little cheaper than the Elixers. For all your string needs, check out this site.

Click on the D'addario link, and then you see a listing with all the different types of strings. Select either the Phosphor Bronze or the EXP's (coated) depending on what you want. These guys sell the strings in bulk, so you'll be set for a while, and they have the best deals around. No shipping fees at all, and the customer service is first rate. Just drop them an email if you have any questions.

i haven't really tried anything but the Martin Marquis strings. They're pretty nice, last a while, and don't hurt your fingers much. I use the light, but not extra light. Am I missing out on some other good strings?

If you want the best strings you've ever tried in your life, get Thomastik Infield strings. They make other stringed instrument strings and they are truly the best quality. The only problem is there really expensive, so be careful if you try a set, you might get hooked and go broke. They last about twice as long as anyother string though. So if you're ever recording, or just want to try a set. Go with those hands down.
