What flatwound string do you use/prefer?

and I thought SIT is a typo and he meant to type Ti's .... but no ...

Considering the price of flatwound strings: our american friends pay more for Thomastik Infeld strings than for the D'Addarios. In Europe it's the other way round.

Here's a list of .012 sets: Flatwound Electric Guitar Strings – Thomann United States

I think Thomann is a good starting point for price comparisons. I wonder how their own label "Harley Benton" strings works.
But honestly, I change my flatwound strings like maybe every other year, so price is not really my first criteria.

I get the cheap webstrings flatwounds. They sound and feel great and help tame the brightness of my Ibanez AF71F.

I'm looking for a good set of high-tension flatwounds.

I tried the La Bella Jazz Flats .015-.056 and they just weren't high enough in tension for me to enjoy. I've been on this search for a while and have found some really great sounding strings (Pyramid gold True Vintage are my current favorite) but none of them have high enough tension for me. This is actually why I don't like playing the TI's. Both the swings and the TIGB's aren't high enough in tension. I will say that .015 for the high E is great. Nice feel. But the La Bellas are low tension strings. I thought that even though they were marketed as such, the 15-56's would still be much higher in tension because they're also labeled as EXTRA HEAVY.

Any got any suggestions? I'll try anything as long as they're flatwound and high tension strings (if those even exist).

Edit: Also, just to reiterate, I'm not looking for any roundwounds. Even if they have reduced finger noise. I get too distracted by it when I'm playing. It bothers me terribly.

Edit #2: I probably should have mentioned as well that I play in Eb rather than E so this may be why some of the higher tension strings don't feel as high tension for me. Has anyone tried the Part Martino GHS strings (16-56)?

You may try the Galli AJF medium.
They were made for me, and then they made it available for all.
AJF Jazz flat acoustic : AJF1260 MEDIUM

BUT: they are meant to be used for my tuning; CGDAEG, low to high... however, they may work for you!

Here's a list of all the flatwounds I could find with details where available. (I have included the Newtone Archtops as well) Also current UK prices for 12-52 sets or nearest equivalent (excl-delivery).
Would be interested in any additions/amendments.
