I agree with Orest that LASS, HS and CS are the top allround string libraries available today.
Of these, LASS offers IMHO the most flexibility because of the various different section sizes for each section, so if you are interested in using strings in a wide variety of settings and musical styles, LASS will probably be your best bet. The other two libraries are more focused on orchestral/cinematic music styles, although they could still work well in certain pop music settings.
There is also Session Strings Pro from NI which is specifically geared toward contemporary music, although it's not of the scope of these other 3 (but neither of the price)
I personally mostly use LASS and find it to be fantastic.
Well. I did it, LASS it is. : )
