I simply hate EB strings (that's just me).

I have tried all three and Dunlop strings have oddly appeared to be great strings to my ears. Yet their tone is way too bright for the style of music I play. But it doesn't change the fact that a lot of people like them and they sound beautiful, very musical brightness to them.

IIRC, Boomers are a lot less pricey, and they sound a lot less bright at first. They sound like medium strings when you first put them on, but after being broken in, they become a lot "thumpier" than other roundwounds. So if you like the sound of flatwound strings, you might appreciate those low-cost strings.

So I didn't vote, but I personally would clear EB out and I believe the other two have their own advantages
