1. D'Addario XL 160 or 160-5's
2. GHS Boomers 45-65-85-105 and a 130 for the 5 string set. These have a very percussive bass tone, lots of low-mids, shy hi-mids and sweet treble. These are harder to play than D'Addario's because they are stiffer but you get used to them and they won't break on you.
3. Fender 7150's Pure Nickel Roundwounds. 45-65-85-105's. These too are very percussive and a bit stiff and after two weeks the highs mellow out and get a muted quality to them. These strings are good for flatwound players who can't get flats or who want to convert to rounds for a bit more brightness.
I think this should help you. The D'Addario's in the guage I mentioned kind of have all of the qualities listed above with a more balanced tone bass vs mids vs treble, and bit more playability. { They are not as stiff. } Good Luck and Keep on Choppin!
