What strings are best for guitar?
There are probably as many different kinds of strings as there are guitarists. Some players like the feel and sound of one kind, others prefer another. This all depends on what sort of music you play, your technique, etc.
I like Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings, myself. I find they produce a nice clear sound and have the right amount of tension to stay in tune without being too stiff.
I don't know anyone who really likes the feel of D'Addario strings, but they seem to be popular with some guitarists.
Some people like to experiment with different kinds of strings, and some switch back and forth depending on their mood or the style of music they are playing at the time.
When I play, I usually start with a backup set of strings just in case the ones I put on don't work out.
I don't know that there really is a best set of strings. It seems to be more about what you prefer.
