What chainrings?

Looking to put a new set of rings on my bike.

110bcd, 50/34, 10 speed, shimano. It's an fsa chainset but not fussed which brand I replace the rings with. Just looking for advice really in the best out there with a good balance of durability and weight (or lack there of)

I've looked at TA, strong light, praxis and the costs vary wildly and I don't really know the best one to get.

Cheers

    Are you replacing the rings on a Caad10? It seems we may have both reached the same end, worn out chainrings and the discovery that (it seems) FSA produced these as a special one off production run and are no longer available as like for like replacement off the shelf. BTW - a pair went on eBay last night, unused for 30 quid, USA mind!

    I found Praxis and TA Zephyr, who I've never heard of. Obv there's Shimano, but I don't want to inadvertently reduce the quality fitted.

    Praxis are fantastic, best chain rings I've used, closely followed by Stronglight CT2 in my experience.

    I put Praxis rings on my FSA SLK light chainset and they're great. Much lighter and better looking than the FSA rings I took off. Shift well too, but to be fair, so did the FSA rings. They're a bit pricey though and I had to buy some black bolts to go with them.

    Praxis are the only way to go.

    I've just fitted some Praxis. Not ridden them yet though but they have a good rep.

    RaceFace Cadence are a hidden gem too. Availability is low but I've been running them for a few years now and they shift better than a lot of rings I've used (TA, FSA, older Shimano).

    Praxis. I have them on my 'best' bike, I found them a bit of a paint to get set up (chainrings seem to be a bit further apart than my old Force set) since I got them dialled in correctly they've been excellent.
