Good strings for low-end bass?

[Psyrcle]

I have a Squire P that needs some new strings. I still have the Fender stock strings on them and they are about 1 1/2 years old.

I would like some *flatwounds* for a warmer feeling but I like to practice hard rock. Is there a happy medium. Price is really not an issue.

*edit: whoopse. roundwounds arn't too warm...

Flatwounds or Halfrounds

What about brand? I hear EB Slinky breaks too easy. I was looking at Rotosound but I can't find descriptions of the strings to see which would best suit me.
