There is no "current popular make". People use different brands and sets depending on their guitar and taste (Daddario, Savarez, LaBella, Luthier, etc...) and even mix (like Bass strings from one brand and trebles from another one). LaBellas might sound and feel great on a Conde and sound and feel not so good on a Bellido, etc. etc... You really have to try out to see which strings suit a specific (your) guitar best. It is time and money consuming to find the right strings and can be a pain in the arse sometimes. Of course we are all nerds and picky, thats why we pay so much attention to small details. We could of course also simply use the cheapest strings and play. But with flamenco its even more difficult, since all strings lose their "freshness" after a week anyway (Bass strings i am talking about). CG players don't have that problem, they want the opposite. About Daddario: they are still the most consistent in quality with no quality control issues whatsoever. EJ46 are one of my favourite sets and workhorses and never snap in your face like these funny "Tomatito" strings i got recently which sounded good but had probably no quality control at all.
