What do you prefer for string material?

What do you prefer for your string material? Out of all the styles of material what are the ones you are using. Example BCY 8125, 452X, 450x, Trophy, etc etc.
I am currently seeking to see what I want to stock, so I need ideas. When I started it was 8125 but its changed now.

452x is what i use.

The last string I bought was 452X as well. Made a very good string. No stretch, no rotation, good durability.

452X here, I looked into the Brownell Astroflight as it was getting alot of very positive comments from other string builders, but then during the course of a couple pm's I also found out that the speed claims some were making were not quite on the up and up, and then one of Brownell's employees actually threw one of the larger string builders under the bus on another forum, so I will be sticking with 452X. Don't try to fix whats not broken. 452X is stable, and durable.

Hutch, I have looked at it and did consider getting some in, but I honestly can't justify the extra cost of it, especially when I have 28 spools of different colored 452X sitting here. People complain about 452X getting fuzzy, but if a person cleans and waxes their strings the way they should I've never seen it to be a problem. As for the Trophy being quieter and giving a softer shot, I've not seen that either. The 2011 Martins I have here all have Trophy strings and I've swapped the string on a FC400 for a 452X and never saw the least bit of difference in noise, speed or the way the bow felt at the shot.
