I use Elixir on my Guild and Takamine (both 12 string) and my Taylor (6 string). On my Ovation (6 string) they don't sound good (perhaps due to the composite body). On that I use some of the good old phosphor bronze ones in a very light gauge (I forget the brand).

As to durability and lack of oxidation, not sure what to say. They last quite a long time and IMHO sound better after a month or so of maturing.

IMHO the Elixirs do not chirp as much as the others which is good.
