Both of these strings have fairly low friction to other strings and would be good for softening up the stringbed. I plan to string a thin gauge of Volkl Cyclone in the mains and these would be thin too, as I am not a string breaker. My question is not so much which is better (although feel free to leave your opinions on the topic) but how will the two differ in how they play as a cross, specifically spin, control, and feel? I have played full poly with no arm problems but I find myself wanting a slightly softer stringbed as I prefer the feel, while maximizing spin and keeping the cost relatively low. What do you all think? Also let me know if there are any other strings I should consider (ideally $10 USD or less but a bit over is fine)!
