I keep thinking I'm going to like roundwound strings on my Gibson ES-175 guitar. This is my second set of .013-.056 D'Addario XL's -- one nickel on steel, the other pure nickel.
They sound good, but the finger noise is too distracting.
I had a fresh set of flatwound D'Addario Chromes (also .013-.056) on hand, and I put them on today. They sound great. And no finger noise.
A few months ago, I tried an old set of Chromes that was probably in the drawer for 20 years. Those sounded bad (and were actually rusty in spots), but the new ones are really nice. A textbook flatwound set.
And the most critical string for me, the low E, is not tubby and dead out of the package like in my previous La Bella set (though I did really like LaBella Tapewounds before that)
