Another D'addrio user here, very good strings, dunlop strings are pretty good too.

D'Addario's here too... for lower tuned 6 strings, i tend to use a pack of 7s and take out the middle (.24 i think) string, else it'll just be a set of 9s. I did have an 8 on the top a few times, and i really liked that, so i might pick up a few singles and make something like 8-46. The 8 did seem to snap easier, but i think that might have been down to technique of always playing on 9s.

I use EB's, I think they are great. If you stretch them properly they have never given me any "awful" tuning issues. I made the switch to EB from Dr strings "hi beam electrics" and never looked back.

I use nickel Gibson strings on Gibson guitars.

I used to use EB nickelwound strings on Strats, until I made the mistake of going up a size from .011 to .012. Holy cr@p, was the string tension out of sight!

When I switched to DR pure nickel .012s everything went back to normal. I think the EB must have been designed with downtuning in mind or something.
