No such thing. They all sound different, and feel different, and each of us wants a different sound and feel.

What kind are you playing now, and what do you wish was different about them?

Well I play punk, like flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and my string feel to tense and stiff.

OK, so you like a bright slappy aggro sound but you want more flexibility, lower tension? Maybe try some extra-light gauge stainless-steel roundwounds.
