Lots of answers, but the question wasn't finished.

What kind of mandolin? D style, F style, or tater bug?
Is "projection" (loudness) or tone your main concern?
High action to play loud or low for tone and easy play?
Is how long a set lasts really important, or do you swap strings for each preformance?
Is price per set a big deal?

What things make you choose the ones you use?

Anybody want to change their answers now, or add some comment on which question their answer was for?
