Personally, what is everyones prefrence on strings, basically for accoustics. My strings of choice are Martin SP's Light. Are there any other strings i should try? or anyone else who uses these? I want opinions!

how do you like the polywebs compared to the nanowebs?
I heard they are slippery as shit for a while and then they lose the slickness much faster than the nanowebs.
I've settled lately on the nanoweb light-mediums, but I might have to try the polywebs.

I've tried both. I like polywebs better. I like the slick, I feel like it gives me some extra speed. I like the tone too.

Elixir Nanowebs .012
I have gotten so used to how easy they slide that it is just weird playing instruments with other strings.
My only problem is my 6(E) string buzzes too much. I don't know if that is an issue with strings being too light or just not a perfect match with the guitar.
