I also use the D'Adarrio's with the plain G on most of my guitars and all of my Tele's. Many years ago, after years of playing acoustic, I got my first electric and thought the plain G felt strange. I used a wound G and it felt great.

I went back to acoustic for a while and one thing leading to another sold my electrics and eventually ended up not playing for several years. When it was time to get it going again I bought an electric again and just got used to to plain G string.

I have started using a wound G on a couple of guitars, one is an Archtop which I use roundwound 12's, another archtop with flatwound 12's or 13's. The other is a Tom Anderson Cobra which I use 10's or 11's with the wound G. I play Jazz with the Cobra.

I guess it's all wht feels right for you.
