Default Best custom strings?

So I am re-stringing my bow after this season and was wondering who ya'll thought made the best strings? So far I am deciding between Bucknasty, Crackers(if he ever answers a pm), and Proline(because its local). Any thoughts. YES I know -- Vapor trail -- right Stick?

Rock Solid makes some very good strings.

As does Anthony at Schmidy's Specialty Strings.

Crackers makes a good one.... but he is usually bogged down pretty heavy with work from what the AT guys say.

You got any experience installing strings and setting bow to specs and tuning from there?

Derek: I don't think Crakers will be able to get to me by this spring -- so I am looking at other options. I think I might just get put on his list and buy a another bow when its my turn -- why not.

I called crackers and got the impression that he could make the strings relatively quickly and send them to you.

Didn't drock tell you about Terminal Velocity Archery? That is where he got his bow tuned and he said it was great. I am going to have them do mine. PM him about it.
