Which low G string?

I have no experience with D'Addario strings, so I don't know what's compatible with them, but people have said great things about Living Water Strings, which are flurocarbon strings sold in sets, including a set with low g.

It's pretty much a hit & miss thing when trying to match them up . . . since they're D'Addarios, you might wanna try one of theirs like a J4304. Aqulla has Reds low G.

Yes, I agree it's hard to match strings up. The best way to find a good string for you is to try several. Choose one, play it for a while, and decide whether you like it. You can try others too - maybe you'll like more than one, or find some better for certain music.
Personally I only use fluorocarbons for all my strings, but that's because I like the way they feel and my Flea has a plastic fretboard where wound strings aren't recommended.
Hope you find a low G that works well for you and sounds great!

I use the D'Addario J4304. They sound good, and I haven't had one break on me.

I've had good luck with the D'Addario J4504 classical guitar D string, but haven't tried one on a Kamaka.

That would be my suggestion as well, though I personally don't like a single wound string on a uke. Too out of balance.
