Neither. Get D'Addario EJ16s. Great sound. Decent life. Reasonable price.

Sorry. This was bound to happen anyway... ;)

why poly?

poly-extra coating, more slip, lasts a little longer than nano

nano-no extra coating, a little more grip(which is what im looking for)

The poly took a lil while to get used to for me. Trying to play Captain or 41 was a bitch at first since the strings are real slick. My fingers tend to real oily so i prefer the poly over the nano since they have more coating. If you tend to sweat alot on your hands then I would definately get the poly.
