I tried a set of the signature Serranito Royal Classics strings on my Conde A25 and they were pretty good. They have a carbon 3rd string similar to the Savarez Tomatito sets. Stephen Eden puts RC Sonata strings on his guitars, so both my guitars from him came with those on. I tried some other brands on the first one, but the RC Sonata set had better sound and feel so I went back to and stuck with them. I also get the bass paks which have four strings - 6th, 5th and two 4ths. I go through two sets of basses to one set of trebles. I like them. Edit: Just seen AndresK post - I think the Serranito set, although called high tension, are about the same as the medium Savarez Tomatito set (from what I remember, it was a few years ago I tried them). The Sonata set also seems more of a medium set, although it says it is high tension. The Sonata basspaks are the same bass strings, but actually say "medium-high" on them! Also I did try the RC flamenco set, but it was much lower tension than Sonata, and I didn't like them very much.

I have been using Royal Classics Flamenco Basses on my Ethan Deutsch blanca and when I asked Strings By Mail, they said all the basses were the same on Royal Classics. So with the Flamenco version, you get an extra D string, which is great because it usually breaks first. As far as trebles go, I tend to prefer carbons, and have been using Pyramid, Knobloch, Dogal Diamentes, or Oasis. Right now I am enjoying the Pyramid trebles, but I think they are wearing down after about 4 weeks, but they make a great combo with the RC's. I did not like RC's carbons. YMMV!
