one of these three:

Dean Markley Signature Series Nickel Steel Electric

DR the handmade string

Gibson Flatwound (for if you want a smooth jazz sound)

i find that on electric i don't get nearly all the string squeals as acoustic. I really don''t think elixirs are necessary for this.

Especially since they are nickel, or stainless steel, you should have the same kinda of corrosion issues associated with bronze or phosphur bronze.
