I'm really enjoying GHS on mine - custom gauges built from JustStrings.com: 11-14-18-28-38-50-70 for the 7 (B or Bb), 14-18-24-36-52-70 for the 6 (C#) - and for some reason mine always seem to last well past that 9-day mark. I get about a month or a month and a half out of them, and since I beat the shit out of strings (I can pop a 50 in E) with my rhythm playing I'm impressed.
Before GHS I was using DRs and SITs. DRs were nice but their selection was too limited - while their heavier gauges worked well for me in standard or Eb, they just didn't make them heavy enough for me when I wanted to tune lower than that. If I ever wind up with a guitar set up just in standard for jazz stuff, I'll likely use DR Tite-Fits, but they do lose points for variety.
SIT strings seemed much less tense compared to similarly gauged strings of different brands. They showed the right width with the calipers, but something about them felt too loose, so while they'd be nice for blues and rock I just couldn't use them in metal.
