Okay, I've been playing ukulele long enough and tried enough brands to know there isn't a flat-out best string. It all depends on your ukulele, playing style, preferences, etc. That being said, I'm looking for a more balanced string than my current set-up. I have a KPK Tenor with Aquilas. It sounds absolutely great when I'm just strumming chords, but they're less impressive when I'm picking. The best way I can describe it is that they lack any subtlety. It's almost like they still want to be strummed. I'd say my picking vs strumming is split about 50/50. So I'd like your opinions on what strings are best balanced for both. I can sacrifice a bit of volume and sustain for a sweeter sound.
