Strings for Flamenco

I'm curious about your strings:

a. what do you use for strings and
b. do you prefer lighter or harder tension?

What I use?: my Mundo Flamenco 3AF was equipped with Savarez Alliance Blue (hard tension). The first thing I did was to get rid of the fluorocarbon e-1 string that sound ways too metallic to me.

Now I have the Savarez Alliance Blue basses, Seaguar Premier g-string and Augustine Regal b-2 and e-1. Not sure if I'm going to stay with that combination ...

Always D'adarrio, different tension for different guitars. Hard is fine on the one I use most but normal for the other two cheapies.
