strings for mainland tenor

hi everyone. New member, my first post. I am excited because I just ordered a mainland mahogany tenor yesterday. Waiting for it to arrive. I was thinking about strings. I believe it comes with aquilas. But for those who play a mainland mahogany tenor, what strings do you like on it?

I have a Mainland concert. Replaced the stock Aquilas with Martins, which as said above are fluorocarbons. Sounds MUCH better to me. Crisper, brighter sound that projects much better on mine. I have the cedar topped rosewood Mainland.
 
Welcome to the forums! As with the others, I love the sound of Martins on my mahogany Mainland tenor.
 
I have this uke, and didn't like the stock Aquilas at all (the low G was very boomy). I use D'Addario Pro Arte clear nylons, which have a beautiful chiming and balanced tone on this instrument.
 
I use Worth Browns on my Mainland Mahogany tenor, but I like the sound of the Aquila New Nylguts on my wife's Mainland Mahogany Concert.
