String Suggestions?

I've got a Gold King tenor banjo uke I've been using to learn clawhammer. (Loving it!) One of my strings broke, which means I've got a great excuse to get a whole new set. I just have what's stock on them now, which I believe is Aquila fluorocarbon. They're really pretty high tension, which is great for projection, but a bit harder to do pull offs, bends, hammer ons, etc.

I play clawhammer banjo as well, and switched it to nylon because I liked the mellower sound and feel compared to steel. Was wondering if anyone has found some good strings they like on the banjo uke that would lend themselves to clawhammer on the banjo uke to on clawhammer old time/country/folk tunes.

Thanks!
