I need to replace my strings. I currently have obligatos and I see no reason to change.

Just have a couple of questions.

what is the difference between goldplated and steel E strings?

I am buying the strings online and they come loose or packeted. Loose is cheaper but will they be marked in any way so I know which is which?
