For my tastes....I find that some basses react better to certain kinds of string.
Ex. GHS on my jazz basses
Ernieball on "other basses"
D'Adarrio on my 12 string Hamers
Labella Supersteps on my 5's
and so on........ |

So I vote roundwounds - I use DR Hi-Beams on my F Bass BN6 and BNF4, LaBella Supersteps on my F Bass Studio, and DR Marcus Miller Fatbeams on my MIA Jazz V.

They give more edge, more growl for playing funk and the like - they also give nice mwah.

these are the growliest strings i've ever heard, and that's what i like. i like the hibeams flexibility on the fretless and the loriders stiffness on the fretted for good dig-in ability.
