I use ernie ball .10 on my short scale and .09 on the longer scale.
I've used many other brands over the years. Most notable the EB and D'addario. I think they both sound great. But the D'addario seem to have something that makes the string less slick and my fingers don't glide as easily as they do with the EB. I have never noticed a significant difference in the life of the strings sound-wise. I change strings fairly regularly so maybe they never get to the point of significant degradation.
My Taylor has elixir strings. Can't say enough good abut them. They are pricy though.
