I have tried them all and have settled with the Becker Gut/poly hybrid set. I have no idea who makes the strings but the set up with gut on the mains is very comfy, tension maintenance is excellent and in an 18 x 20 I can get 2 months out of it playing 2-3 times a week. $25.00 is a deal. The poly usually goes before the gut. Wilson/prince gut are made by babolat so they all play the same. Klip armor pro is a unique string that I also go to on occasion and use it as a full gut set up.
What is the main difference if you don't mind my asking...
How does it compared to current Wilson natural gut?
It could be all in my mind, but somehow Wilson natural gut feels touch less
lively compared to old original VS (non-BT7).
Thanks.
Anyone know what is going on with performaxx gut? Can't seem to find it
So I have taken advantage of a TW special to add another 400T to my bag, and since it was so cheap I thought I would get it with Wilson Natural Gut.
Hmmmmnn
So, plenty of power, lovely feel and touch, but there is no spin!!
Is this stuff always like this?
It looks to me as if these are the same strings that are selling for $12.99 out of Calif. that come from India.

Anyone know if there is a shortage of Klip legend? Been wanting to buy some and TW has been out of stock for some time.

Sorry, I've never used Wilson gut. I can tell you that between Tough and Babolat natural gut I much prefer Tough. While both have excellent playing properties, Tough lasted roughly twice as long as Babolat.
Which gut do you guys think would last longer, Wilson 16 g NG or Pacific Tough Gut 16 g?
Update
I've now used the Wilson Natural Gut 17 for about 6 hours of varied play.
So, what's it like? Apart from being a bit hard to tame with more power and less spin than I'm used to, it's otherwise pretty terrific.
Great feel, great comfort, no discernible change in performance after the first half hour or while it settled.
I could get used to this stuff
won't give me any more spin though, which is the main issue.
I've already got it 5 lbs tighter than all my other racquets
I'm used to shaped poly, remember!
There are all kinds of options out there and no "best" other than what you decide for yourself.

Edberg used Bow Brand Gut

Performaxx supply can usually be found on the bay, but it is not very steady. You should just keep checking on the bay and eventually you'll find some available. If you don't snap them up, they'll eventually be snapped up soon and there may be a while before some more are posted for sale on the bay again. That's why if I'm low on supply I keep an eye out for them and when I see them, I'd snap up enough supply to last me a while.Sorry I meant can't find it for sale on the bay, and there contact page doesn't seem to work on the above link
I tried the Cali strings. Out of four packs three broke during stringing. The fourth pack and the other broken packs I sent back to them with only getting the one pack price refunded to me. I took them to a professional stringer to get them strung so it wasn't a "home stringer" doing the breaking. The strings were very dry and brittle. Just my experience with them.
Now I just buy the main name gut sets. The cheap ones are more expensive in the long run.
There doesn't seem to be much difference in price then Klip Legend.
I wish Bow brand was not so expensive. Bow brand was my all time favorite gut. Played THE best of all the guts I had used before. At one time Bow brand was $10 less than any other gut so it was a double ++ for me. Since Bow was out of the tennis string business for a while I am not sure if their strings would be as good as before. Seems like some of these gut companies ( Babolat) like to constantly tinker with their gut recipe. I found Bow somewhere on the internet but I think it was from UK. Shipping was a bear for a package of it. Maybe I'll look and see if it is available here in the USA.
