I generally run with EB as a baseline. If the strings I'm looking for aren't available LaBella or D'Addario are on the short list. If I want a custom set, I default to StringJoy. I'm not super picky. I'm generally more interested in gauges relative to strings, the exception being my 6-string...

I haven't researched them a ton, but I do like the Korn vibes. I'm not expecting them to be a doppelganger for Korn, so if they don't diverge at some point, it won't bode well.
Also, I'm a big Korn fan.
