i like pretty big 130-45 or 135-45, i may do 125-45.

so what are the best brand to get and where is the best place to buy on the internet, i have not really been able to find 5 string sets only 4 string.

I like tapewound string like LaBella's, but that's just me.

And the guages are bigger like you like, however you may dig the tone and feel you might not.
