Hi Saintjb,
Derek ↑↑↑ is correct. Even string quality is subjective from brand to brand and becomes a question of what's most important to the user.
For example, on one of my guitars I love the sound of John Pearse PB light gauge strings. However, they have a tendency to break after a couple of weeks usage. Therefore, are they high quality because of the tremendous tone they bring out of the guitar, better than any other string I've tried? Or are they poor quality because they break more frequently?
I don't think anyone is going to be able to rate strings objectively.
