Can anyone recommend a preferred string for Alebrije responsive play?

I’ve been using some cotton poly blend string I don’t have labeled properly so I don’t know what it is. Haven’t tinkered much yet to find a strong I like but usually fixed and bearing play I use different string for. I’ve been rolling fixed for a while.

I use a medium thickness Poly String for more responsive play on the Albrije. It is thicker than standard, but not a true Fat string.
I mostly play with the responsive bearing.

When playing with it fixed, I recommend using thin strings as the gap is pretty tight. That way, the string would wind better and throws would feel smoother.
