Musicians gear strings?

I was looking for some cheap strings because I go through them like wild fire no matter what I get it seems like.

Maybe someone could recommend some strings. I play a Ibanez SR300. I slap, tap, pluck, and thump. But I like that punchy sound of new strings. So I change anytime I play a gig. Whats some that aren't too pricey but will last a while?
 
I've never tried the Musician's gear strings, but for cheap ones the Hartkes weren't bad. You may also want to try the Carvin site. Thier prices on their strings were not that bad either, and GHS puts out their "Bassics" strings which is friendly to tighter budgets.
