What strings for an electro-acoustic fretless bass?

[1976fenderhead]

Just bought a second-hand Aria electro-acoustic fretless bass and wondering what strings you'd recommend for this type of bass?

Since it's fretless, I would think flatwound would avoid scratching the fretboard, but I see phosphor bronze seem to be the most used for acoustic basses and I don't think those are flatwound?

I love Thomastik's Acoustic Bass (Acousticore), nylon core, phosphor bronze round wounds. They feel great, give extra fretless "mwaah" but do cost more than d'Addario's....

I use flatwounds on my Carvin fretless ABG. They are GHS Precision flats, which I understand are hard to get on your side of the pond. I have heard TI Flats sound good on ABGs, so I might try them out. LaBella Tapewounds are also an excellent choice as well.
