I've been playing 18x20's for a while now and because of the dense pattern, strings seem to last much longer - not dropped below 16g gun mains.

For me, 15g was a significant drop compared to 16 and 17g and durability was only about 20% better. Given I don't break strings that often, it was an easy choice to stick with 17g.
