Wich tapewounds are suitable for D-G-C-F tuning?

So far I tried:

Labella's: Great and they will remain in one of my basses.
For a second bass I want to have tapewounds on I tried:
GHS: Too floppy.
Roto's: Tuning problem with the E-string (set the saddles as far back as possible, but still out of tune on higher frets).

Any suggestions?
 
I think Rotosound makes the highest tension tapes.

If they're still on your bass, OP, it sounds like the E-string didn't have the witness point properly set. Try pushing the string down toward the body about an inch in front of the saddle. This should help with the break angle and fix your intonation problems.
 
d'Addario's? since they are already very low tension they sure won't do for D-G-C-F tuning.

I might give the Roto's another try, I still have them in my spar string box. However I was hoping to get recommendations to try something new.
Does anybody have experience with the Pyramids?
