Which do you prefer?

If you could only pick one of these sets, based on the deepest tone, which would you get? I've narrowed it down to these three choices and want to know which set I should get. I'm looking for an overall warm and deep tone.

dr high-beams= ownage. there bright at first, but after a week or two, they mellow out. but if i had to pick out of the three, id go for the 2833's.

DR Lo-Riders or better yet, black beauties. Don't like black? Get the silver then.

I haven't tried the Ken Smith, but I'd avoid Slinky if you want warm tones.

Ernie Ball? I'm into saving money. I just use matched Carvin bass strings. Very affordable, plenty of tone for me. Don't need to change them very often either.
