In my experience, ALL the strings matter on a bass- the combination of string tensions can really open or choke a bass.
For an (extreme) example on my bass- when I had plain guts on the G and D and mittels on the A and E, the mittels played nice and soft and boomy. But with all mittels, my bass felt too tight, and the E never worked.
So for YOUR bass it could be that the Spiro Stark E works great with the strings you have on now. Or if you like the Permanent you have on, try some lighter and heavier strings on the G, D and A to get a feel of your basses quirks.
Another option to think about would be Velvet strings, they have constant tension across all strings and can really open up a bass.
Another option would be to chuck all spiros on and never think about strings again.
