Nanoweb vs. Polyweb, which one is preferable?

I am about to get new strings, i have experienced every kind except for Exilir, so now is the time. I am just wondering, which is better, nano or poly, what kind of strings do you use?

either or. i've tried both, and haven't noticed a difference. and besides, when you have used the strings for a couple days, you're used to them, and it won't even be an issue. i think one of the pair is a dollar cheaper though. go for those.

Polywebs deffinatley feel different, they feel like someone covered them in some kind of lubricant. I prefer the Nanowebs over the polys, or any other brand of string for that matter

I am using Martin Marquis Phosphor right now, is it worth the money to go out and get an exilir set? since it goes 3 or 2.5 times the money.

Nanowebs aren't quite as slick, ie they're easier to get used to if you've never played elixers.

i like the slide effects the best on the polywebs...i only use elixirs: they sound good and they last a helluva lot longer than regular strings

nano's are all i use, i got hooked on the light-mediums for both my taylor dread and my 414 and they work great. i do have to say though if i break one more g string on elixirs i'm calling the company and bitching. i've talked to many others that have the same problem on that string, i dont know what it is.

NANO! they sound like real bronze strings except they have a small coating..just enough to add slickness and prevent rusting of strings with out defeating the nice tone.

the core is thinnest on a G because it is the lightest wound string. thusly it is most prone to breaking etc
