| strings with great feel and fast playability

I've used Roto 66 strings on my SX Jazz and P-basses. I loved the tone, but not the clackity sound of them hitting the fretboard, nor that sticky/dry feel. I was also cleaning the fretboard at one point and did see tiny marks from the Roto's on the frets.
I've thrown GHS tape wound strings on my P-Bass (45-105) and love the feel and I find I can just play faster (slides too). But the tone is subdued and thumpy, and that's fine for what I want from the P-bass.
I have nickel roundwounds on my Jazz, tone is ok, but I hate how they feel (like hundreds of tiny metal balls strung together).
Is there a string brand that has great feel, allows for fast speed, won't mark up frets and also has great tone for a Jazz style bass? At this point I'm playing mostly rock (Rush, Zeppelin, Sabbath).
