Right now I have a set of GHS strings on my guitar, I know they're used by some jazz musicians even though they're not flat or roundwound. It's probably the tone and clarity that count more than anything else, just to restate that it's a good idea to find what's best for you without looking at names or labels.

I'm actually going to be switching strings because the GHS strings I have now seem a bit stiff in the higher strings. It's awesome for tapping and most things besides bending, but deep bends are what I'm working on most now. If you like fast jazz runs that don't sway all over the place I would definitely recommend looking into them.
