Speaking with my luthier today, who works on many of the basses in the Chicago Symphony, I was told that the strings of choice for many years in the orchestra were EA Spiro Red and DG Flexocores. This is what Joe Guastafeste preferred and the other bassists followed suit.

I'm about to try a S42 weich set with extended-E (yikes). I've been trending towards lower tension (Flex/92, Permanent, EP reg, EP weich, Obligato, and now Superflexible). Connoly claimed that TI does not make a SF extended-E, so I put on my old spiro mittle extended-E. But I see the extended-E in the TI PDF chart posted here earlier.
Overall the SF A/D/G sound the best on my bass, but the spiro mittle extended-E seems choked a bit. Is my thinking correct? Maybe weichen all the way across might be the ticket? Also, my mensure is 41 3/4 with the back of the bridge feet bisecting the line between the inner f-hole nicks. So I'm thinking S42 is my string right? Bass: 2003 Romanian carved flatback by Baranyai Gyorgi, Budapest I got from Robertson's in NM.
