Well, each string is different. To me, I’d say that Cotton and Polyester (or both together) are nearly indestructable. Cotton is good and is close to Perfict Fit. I like Cotton & Polyester together.

Most modern players don’t use cotton. Cotton is very rough on the hands, and can cut you up nice and good if you’re not super careful. It is a bit more responsive, however, so for a beginner they can be useful. I just use highlights.

For my experience, I have used Cotton for a year now. Yes, it cuts but you’ll develop a Callus faster with it.

Poly with metal, my mom said no. I deny that thought

I disagree, cotton is more likely to break compared to poleyester and cotton is not close to perfect fit string because PF string is 20% nylon and 80% poleyester. sorry if I sound mean I don’t mean to.
