I use Martin SP4100's for my acoustic, phosphor bronze, lights. I love the way these strings sound on my acoustic. Not too brash, not too sweet. My axe has a cedar top, so most of the brashness is 'absorbed'.

For electric, I used to use Ernie Ball super slinkies (9's) for years. Just about a couple of years ago, I switched to using Dean Markley Blue Steel custom guage (medium bottom strings, light top strings). These things sound great and really last.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
