I'm on this forum long enough to know that people will recommend a 5-string set from Labella, preferably bought from bassstringsonline.com, that's runned by Jason, a member of this forum, who has a 5% discount for TB members.
La Bella has a couple of good options as mentioned above.
Also D'addario chromes and if you want heavy get a four string set plus low b. Same with Ernie Ball and GHS.
The discount varies depending on the product line once setup as a VIP though

I have a set of Fender stainless flats in medium gauge. I don't know if they make heavy gauge, or a 5 string set, but the mediums sound heavier than I was anticipating. I have them on a Yamaha Attitude Deluxe (34", four string,) and I have become a fan of them. Very punchy and ballsy. They also feel good. They are .055, .070, .090, .105.
