Most of us low G fans prefer a wound string. The string of choice being a Fremont Soloist and for good reason. They sound great, last a long time compared to most other wounds and are relatively squeak less.
There is another string that I like as much or more, the Oasis Smooth Wound Warm .033" string. I had two tenors with Fremont low G that were not giving me as much deep resonant bass as I wanted. I switched out the Fremont to the above Oasis Warm and bingo, whole new ukulele.
One of the instruments was my Koolau Spruce Myrtle tenor. Brenda had played it in the past and liked it. She played it a few days ago (not aware of the one string change) and she really, really liked it. Said it sounded rich and full. The other uke is a Webber tenor spruce and cocobolo that always sounded on the bright side, now it is richer and warmer sounding.
My Farallon has the Oasis warm and I have it paired with a D'Addario NYL028W, Classical nylon silverwound on the C string spot. The D'Addario is another sleeper if you like a wound third, either for reenetrant or to pair with a wound fourth low G, my favorite set up.
