I have tried several brands of strings over the years. The best I have found are Nylgut aquila uke strings made by Aquila. They will improve the sound of any uke. They cost a few bucks more than other brands but are certainly worth the difference.

You mentioned "I've recently bought a tenor/baritone uke"

It is important to know if you have a tenor or a baritone uke. The baritone uke is tuned the same as the first four strings of a guitar.
D, G, B, E.   4th to 1st

Tenor strings are tuned G, C, E, A, or A, D, F#, B. The forth string can be tuned high such as G above C or G below C. The higher 4th string produces more of a uke sound.

For a Baritone the body length is 14 inches and the scale length from nut to saddle is 20 inches.

The Tenor uke has a body length of 12 inches and a scale length of
17 inches.

Using the wrong strings can dislocate the bridge, break the string/s, or, if they are tuned low, produce a very poor sounding uke.

I would not recommend using metal guitar strings.
