5 string players what strings do you like?

On my 5 I use DR high beam. I use them on my 4 string as well. I tried flats on my 5 once but felt the low B needed the growl that comes with round wounds.
I know I'm weird but right now I have Chromes on the wood bodied LB75 and round on the finished LB75. They are both active, different Pups but I can get any sound i'm looking for with very little messing around. Usually have both basses when gig'n.
I'm really digging the new Elixirs. Got a set of Stainless Elixirs ordered so I'm anxious to try them. Up until I'd tried the Elixirs the Ernie Ball Cobalts was my favorite but I believe I like the Elixirs alot better.
