Plain gut E & A are pretty much as you describe...floppy with not much definition. For jazz, you will probably want to switch them out for steels, like Charlie Haden. Wrapped gut E & A is an option, but really pricey.
There are synthetic slap strings out there, like SuperSilvers, that'll give you better definition on the low end for jazz as well.
I used to lightly oil mine about every 2 mos. Just clip the 'hairs' if you see any. No need to sand all the time.
