String-thru 5s, what strings do you like?

What's your experience/preference in strings for for string-through 5ers?

I'm neutral, all opinions considered. Thanks

I use D'Addario EXL170-5SL 5-String Bass Strings on my Lakland 55-01. If your bass is 35" scale and you want to string it thru the body make sure you get "Super Long" scale as long scale strings won't make it. I had a set of DR HiBeams on it but did not like them at all, way to bright for me. I have been very happy with the D'Addario's, the B feels great!
