I've just strung my all-laminate Aiersi tenor uke with re-entrant g fluorocarbon strings from Living Water Strings.
I agree with all of the posts that say that the biggest single thing that affects uke tone is the skills of the player. In my case I am a bit of a struggler. I'm just not a natural. I do, however, enjoy my own work when it comes to the uke and to me that's what matters most of all. My skills seem to have reached a plateau at a level where I can happily play inside to amuse myself and our cat.
Having said all that about the importance of skills, I have to say that the Living Water strings have made quite a noticeable difference to the tone of the uke, in a very positive way. They replace a set of Aquila New-Nylguts, which are fine strings with no vices. The Living Water fluorocarbons are a quite different sound and a sound that I find very pleasing indeed. Clear, quite loud, with a sweet tone.
