Let?s be honest here: As rule of thumb, you select your strings based on two general parameters: how they feel (your hand?s size, your fingers strength, your playing style and the like) and that their sound and durability are reasonably ok (let?s be honest again, not everybody could hear the slight difference in sound from brand to brand in sets of same gauge and materials). Ernie Ball fits the bill, no question.
BUT there is something else to consider. Hybrid strings could literally save certain certain guitars. Pay close attention to your guitar. If it sounds skinny, weak or loose in the bass response, hybrids could fix that at little cost and without a huge compromise in terms of action and playability.
For many of you, the afore mentioned is probably redundant and evident, but for novices might find this useful, so it did worth my while to mention this still.

I experimented with various gauges and came across these last year, now I use them on my Strat. I use this set for practicing, small gigs.
Never had a string break.
Great sound, and it is so great that you still get the great slinky bending , but with a slightly heavier and clear bottom end. Ernie Ball strings keep their tone, fantastic sound.
Blues, Rock, Heavy Metal. Drop D, E Flat - that what I use these strings for.
To sum up:
Pros -
Pretty long-lasting
Strong
Consistent
Good Tone
Affordable
Reliable
Cons -
Still didn't found any
Give Ernie Ball 2222 a try and you'll be impressed! :)

I also loved the sound, and everything but nowadays having the great choice in coated and more durable strings that sound as good as the classics, would make me prefer a more durable set.
Don't get me wrong, the quality and sound are perfect but if you play often, after 1 week, you become to see a big difference.

get them when I have a chance.
Recently I bought new Strat Deluxe here and was not satisfied with the sound of the stock strings, the low strings were too thin.
So I was looking for something to keep the high strings the same, but with heavier bottoms and I found this set!
Totally satisfied, really suites my Strat and provides the bottoms I needed.
Lasts 1 month for me, with about 15 hours of play per week. Tune great, they endure heavy bends and stuff. Great for Rock, Punk and Heavy Metal.
Cheers.

I've been buying them since because they've lasted me a few gigs without breaking and even after wiping them down a few times they eventually wear out a bit and there's nothing like a new set anyways. But basically, I trust Ernie Balls and they do the job !

Pros: Soft, and extremely easy to bend. Surely easier than the 10-46 Brite Wires.
At the same time looks they will last longer than Fender 150L, definitely have better expression than Pyramid pure nickel, kick juicier lows than EB2252.
Cons: They seem a little noisier than 10-46, so dirty playing will not do for solos. Harder to get the right overtone in the right moment, again compared to the previously used Brite Wires 10-46.
Conclusion: Not sure if the next set will be the same, but for now I am happy with it.

The package comes very well isolated from air. I bought the set and only stringed my guitar 2 months later. After tuning, I played unplugged and almost fell from my chair because sound so clear. It is a good sign that the strings are always fresh inside the package.
It fits my needs and are so comfortable to play. The sound itself was a good upgrade to my old 10-46 strings.

Also a few weeks and no broken strings, so that's good too.

When it comes to sound and durability it is as all ernie balls i've tried: great sounding as fresh, sounds terrible when aged and they do age very rapidly.
