Chony,
In my store I sell every make of strings and hands down the most popular string manufacturer is Elixer. They make a set of bronze wound strings that have a coating of polymer on the wound strings which keep dirt from getting into the strings. These strings will last at least 5 times longer than anything else and they sound bright a new for months and months. The fact that you don't change strings very often, these would be a great choice. They sell for about twice the price of others, but they are worth every penny.
Same at our store. Elixer 10-1 followed by D'Addario EXP. But I live on the beach and uncoated strings don't do well for long.
Taylor uses them, Even Samick uses EXPs on their guitars,But Samick also uses Grover tuners on their $150 guitars, They build a great guitar for the money. In the $300 price range they are tough to beat all around.
To the guy who put Nylon Strings on the Ovation Acoustic. Hows the neck. Seems to me all that lack of tension would cause the neck to bow back.
