I like the fancy coated strings, they do last for ages IME. I think I have them on all my electrics now. I'm the type who only changes guitar strings when they visibly go dull, so I get a good year or two out of a set! Just stuck a fresh set of Elixir Nanoweb 11s on the new Lester, set the relief, action, intonation etc and it is playing beautifully.
Big fan of Thomastik Infield Jazz Flats on the bass, I have them on both the fretted and fretless at the moment and they seem to give a good '60s fusion/70s rock/funk sound, play well (very low tension for a flatwound) and last ages. As I'm just not aiming for that bright indie twang or 80s funk slap at all I'll likely run them until they fall off!
I like the elixir bass strings too....just looked at the Thomastiks you linked to...bass strings at cello string prices!
