I like DR Pure Blues personally, I think they meet your criteria.

DR Tite Fit would me my suggestion too, maybe the MH-10 set (10-50) or the standard set (10-46). Def chimey, nice feel, and last forever when compared to other string brands.

I'm a stainless steel string guy, Fender 10s (D'addarios work fine too, sometimes they're the same string).

My body chemistry the only strings I don't wreck are stainless so my preference in sound is convenient - I hate that new string sound with a passion, and hate changing strings too.

Markleys I used to destroy in < 2 days to a point where they wouldn't hold tune, which is what started my quest for new stuffs once I realized that "changing strings" wasn't a daily event for other players.

If you haven't, definitely try the GHS Nickel Rockers, works great for my offsets. Want them to be long lasting? Get FAST FRET! I dunno how to put it down, but It'll make your strings feel "comfortable" and chime longer

i've been using 10-46 GHS Boomers lately, and i really like their middle path between the hi-fi squeak of D'Addarios and the sometimes overly raspy honk of Ernie Balls. i must try the nickel ones, which might be even more up my alley because i generally prefer nickel to stainless.

I get Ernie Ball slinky 10's. They last foreverrrrrrrr and sound better than the DR's I used to get. And my DR's didn't last nearly as long.
