The 10-46 Gauge Standard for Electric Guitar
The D'Addario XL Nickel Wound EXL110 are designed to offer an ultra-versatile compromise between flexibility, durability, and intonation. Their design combines a precisely wound nickel-plated steel wire with a carefully machined carbon steel core: the result is a consistent feel and a clear response, equally comfortable in rock, blues, pop, funk, as well as more modern playing styles. If you're looking for strings that can keep up with rehearsal and stage performance while retaining the bright tone typical of nickel strings, this EXL110 set remains a reliable choice.

A safe bet for electric guitars! These strings regularly equip my two solid-body strings (Godin and Fender) and are excellent over time. They stabilize quickly after assembly and sound for a long time with a very good tonal balance. Solid and reliable, pleasant playing, these strings are certainly one of the best quality/price ratios in the category.

Arguably the best cheap strings for electric guitar. Compared to Dean Markley the sound is much rounder and the lifespan is much longer: no need to put anything on the strings every time! After a month of regular use (one to two hours per day) the strings remain in acceptable shape!

These strings that usually come with all my electric cars are really cheap, they were always around 7 euros. Maybe it's because of the very low dollar...
