DR Lo Riders get my vote!

I've never been really pleased with any strings I've tried. I used Dean Markley Electra's back in the day, but they stopped making them. I used Blue steels for a while, and they were ok, but I kept snapping the E. I used the hybrid Ernie's for a stretch, but wasn't super happy with them, but they did the job. I had my bass in the shop and they put some thin ass, buzzy, klinky sounding strings on and swore they'd "wake" my sound up. I ditched them after two practices and took some advice from the talkbass crew and bought some Lo Riders. I love em! I like the look of the black beauties, but what are some thoughts on the comparison?
