Depends on what type of tone and whammy usage is involved.

  graphite

I agree with experiment63 If you use the whammy bar alot go with the graphite, it will really help your guitar stay in tune!

If you're going to divebomb and heavy bend and make crazy sound FX like me, you can't expect to hold your tuning with a strat trem too well. Save that stuff for the Floyd Rose.
