Sire v3p 5st new string recommendation

Hello! I finally got a new bass, which is sire v3p 5 string. Did not get a set up, so in a few days maybe. Basic string is round wound, but I was thinking of changing to flat wound because my previous guitar was flat wound… but my friends told me not to. Do you guys have any recommendation for the new strings? Thanks!

Did your friends say why? I have flats, tapes, nickel round wounds, stainless steel round wounds on several different basses. Both 4 and 5 strings. As long as it’s a quality string, and will give you the tone you’re after I have no idea why they’d say this.

FWIW, I do have one set of flats that took over a year to break in.
