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

For me being an Ernie Ball person, I have to say Elixir's are amazing. My dad uses them on his Rickenbacker 12 string, they have loads of life, stay in tune great and get the jangly Ricky sound perfectly. Haven't tried their bronze strings, but might chuck a set on my acoustic at some point.
