Need Some String Advice
I'm playing a Jackson Warrior with Duncan pickups, and I've noticed that my strings don't sound as good as they should, even when I replace them with new strings. The problem seems to be with the low E, D, and G strings. The low E and D strings don't have a consistent pitch, and the G string is always slightly detuned. The Whammy feature on my GNX3000 detunes everything horribly when I try to use it to switch to drop-D or drop-C, and I think it's the strings. I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the guitar, but if I can't fix the problem, I'm willing to have a tech look at it.
I'm using Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings (which were reccommended to me by a salesman at a local music store, which I no longer trust), and my tuning is (starting with the low E string) Eb Bb Eb Ab C F (the low E string is one half-step low, and the rest are one half-step high [one half-step above a normal drop-D tuning]).
What are the best strings for my tuning? Also, are there some premium strings out there that have more of a consistent tone? I've seen more expensive strings, but I want to know more about them before I try them.
Thanks for any help, and I apologize for all of the parenthetical statements (like this :P).

You can get away with short duration power chords, but that's it.
The pitch shifter in the Chorus/Mod section is polyphonic... but unfortunately you cannot set it to be completely wet. You could on the RP2000 tough.. But the quality was not as good as you would get with the Whammy (I'm refering to the quality of downsampling/upsampling not the tracking)...
