I've been using D'Addario classical guitar strings regularly for a couple of decades, so I can't pretend now to be familiar with the competition. But I've stuck with them for the following reasons:
• They're extremely reliable -- I can't remember the last time I had a dud string.
• Their sound is excellent and they last a long time.
• They settle in extremely quickly (this is a biggie for a professional musician).
• They have eco-friendly packaging.
I use the the J46s on my flamenco guitar, and on one of my classical guitars that has a low action (J45s on the other one). Every guitar and every guitarist is different, so try different tensions before you settle on one.
D'Addario are used by a long list of top professionals that you can probably find by looking at their publicity; Paco Peña was the one that influenced me in the first instance.
I remain very happy with the decision.
P.S. If you'd like to see more extended discussions and comparisons, go to the foroflamenco website and type the name of the strings you're interested in into the search box. The forum contains a decade's-worth of discussions.

I've been using this model of strings since I first started playing in 2003 and they've been awesome! They're good not only for beginners but intermediate classical guitarists, as well.
I plan on switching to the composites for this model just to see how they stack up, but I don't really have any complaints about them. I had bought these strings on recommendation from a fellow classical guitarist who I had very much respect in (I haven't talked to him in a while, but I'm sure he's still a great guitarist) and multiple sites I browsed regarding buying strings and installing them were fans of the D'Addario Pro-Artes.
I'm not an expert on different kinds of strings so I don't have much else to compare to other than guitars I've played in stores or that friend have owned, but I felt like these strings have had great longevity for me as long as I wiped them down after practices/performances and washed my hands before picking up my guitar. Even when they were past their prime they actually held pretty decent sound, but obviously not at the quality that they do when they're fresh. I get really nice, rich sound quality from them when they're fresh.
As I've gotten better guitars these strings have still continued to serve me well as they provide as loud a volume as the quality of guitar I'm playing on should provide, and they've just felt really nice on my fingers overall. Part of why I don't like steel string acoustics is that they're kind of harsh on my fingers, which is really bad for when you can't practice every day because you're on vacation or something, whereas I'm able to pick up my guitar with these strings easily after a break in practice.

Good Strings help create Good Sound!!!
These are nice strings and on a quality instrument stay in tune well. They are not overly bright nor dark but rather have a nice "round" sound to them. Highly recommend.
