The D'Addario NYXL's seem to last a fair length, may have their own pluses and minuses - but cost more.
I'm making this post because I still have sets of "normal" D'Addario XL to use, and put a set back on my work guitar after the NYXLs gave up.
An interesting experience, what used to be the norm I'd forgotten about: I found myself back into the old routine of fiddling with the tuning as the intonation immediately starts drifting a few days later. A week later I already know "yeah, going to have to retune to play in this register for this song", "yeah, touch up the B and E for this part", etc..
Not to mention the feeling of oxidation I'd learned to discount, and the slight tension difference, the floppy-ness as the strings get "old".
So I'm on the Paradigm wagon for now.
