Strings 
I did a search, but couldn't find much on strings. I noticed a couple of you like the EJ46 Pro Arte strings. What strings do you guys use, and is there a big difference between "classical" and "flamenco" strings? The Pro Arte appear to be classical. Also, what gauge do you suggest?

What do you think of these:

RE: Strings (in reply to polishcomedy) 
im currently using d'addario composites hard tension. i really like them but the basses died kind of quickly. the composite g string is awesome but it kind of overwhelms the other treble strings in volume.

i dont think it matters whether they're classical or flamenco strings. in the end, they're nylon strings and what matters is if they sound good on your guitar or not. i like hard or extra hard tension but try different tensions to see what suits your guitar and hands.
