I have a Martin Tenor and experimented with 3 sets of strings:
Martin Fluorocarbon
South Coast Soft Mediums
Oasis Tenor Strings
My favorite by far are with the Martins followed by the Oasis and SC did not stay on very long. The Oasis were softer than the Martins...They are a little brighter as well.
If you get a vintage Martin, I recommend the Martin strings. The A string snapped in 2 days so had to change it and started the experiment...I'm too cheap to buy new strings right away
Let me know what you think about the sound...lazy and just used a point and shoot camera
