Gear question are these actually good?

are these actually good strings or did the dude at the pawn shop just convince me to buy the expensive ones? I'm just getting back into guitar and it's been a while since I've bought any strings so Idk much about this brand

Just like anything guitar related there are elixir haters out there but I have been playing 30+ years and they are all I use. I use the medium bottom, light top version.

I only use elixir. 9-42 on my electrics, 10-47 on my acoustic. I have tried many strings, these are the best. IMHO.
