I've tried them all. I mostly play telecaster guitars with g and b benders in them' also have 2 teles with benders in them along with Hipshot drop D on the low E string and banjo drop tuners on the high E and A strings' those strings are always being lowered and raised in pitch and were breaking at the saddles and tuners within 2 weeks or less especially the b and g strings' sometimes a couple of days or less on those strings'the Ernie ball strings have lasted and kept their tone the longest without breaking or having to change them, and that's using 9's compared to the others using 10's.
I also keep the string trees/nut and saddles well lubricated because of those strings constantly being raised and lowered in pitch so I figure I've given them all a fair chance to make the comparison.

I’m a huge Ernie ball string guy. Something about the colorful packaging always brought attention to me

After play a strat with 011 I swap on another strat with 010 : no way the sound was so poor on the last be better increase strings gauge before change pick ups.

I can't move away from Elixir, they are just too durable and I got used to their "well rounded" sound. Other strings sounds to me as too harsh and "clangy", and they tend to rust or lose intonation after just a couple of months... I have 2 guitars and I don't play that often anymore, so I don't want to end up having to change strings too often just to enjoy my instrument..
