Flooded Bass string question

My vote would be for Arledge strings. Things change but the last time I 
used Yamaha strings, they looked a little shop worn. The Arledge strings 
sounded great (and were freshly made). I would imagine that the Isaac 
strings are also very good but haven't tried them yet.
