I'm usually rather fond of 10's on my Dean Soltero, but the set of Elixr 10's I have on the strat keep popping out the nut (well the high e does anyway, not sure if because of lack of string tree...) However, seeing at the strat never goes out of E or Eb I'm going back to 8's. I just love how bendy they are! But does anyone know of a company that does a coated set? EXP, Cobalt, titanium etc. seeing as I'd quite like them to last a while... If necessary I'll just go back to the D'addario standard 8's I used before.

Although there's plenty of highly respected players using 8&9 gauge strings.
Check out some DR Stringlife - works well.
