Go Full on Luxilon rough or hybrid?

I'm not sure whether or not to go with a Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power Rough 16L on full or with a synth gut in the crosses.

I'm planning to use the Prince Synth gut with duraflex in the crosses if I plan to go hybrid, but I've heard some bad things about going hybrid with this string.

My KPro Tour's wearing out on its Pro Hurricane and Prince synth + duraflex hybrid combo, and I think I could find a better stringbed than this. Hopefully this luxilon string can give me more spin and control.

I also think full poly is the best. BUT for ALU power rough, I think hybriding is better. PSGD as a cross is a good combo.

I think I'll try a hybrid first with PSGD, later test out a full.

How does luxilon last before giving out on its tension? I've always heard it's notorious for only lasting like 3 hours before it dies. If so, would it be necessary for me to string it about 2 pounds higher than normal?

Both tension and more imortantly elasticity of Luxilon alu power and ROUGH goes out the window too fast in my view - 4 hours and it plays like a stiff board for me.

Try a hybrid of Power mains and X-One crosses - will soften it up a bit and in my view be a better string.
Or go for X-One mains and ROUGH crosses instead. Plays very nice and the X-One mains is a playable string until it breaks - for me after 8-10 hours for the 1.24 gauge. You don't feel the ROUGH has died so much, when It's only in the crosses....

Actually, I think I'm going to try out Topspin Cyber Flash; I've heard it's got good spin and tension stability.

I hope this'll be a good choice, and I'll probably try to restring my racquet with this and the PSGD.

Any comments? I just hope I don't need to get my parents to drive out to the store and restring it because of just tension loss.

You have to play with either full or hybrid which whatever feel good to you. For me, I rather full alu rough over hybrid b/c I love the feel of the string.
