The wound G gives a strong ring to chords, so really good for rhythm guitar, whilst still keep the lightness of play of a 10-46 standard set. If you have an early Fender Tele then these strings will match the pole heights, whereas a plain G can sound rather weak. The wound G also stays in tune a lot better. There is no real difference to the feel of the strings, but bending the G is a little harder.
The wound G requires resetting of intonation, and perhaps also neck relief. Definitely a different sound, what might be called "stronger" when playing rhythm. Wound G not as easy to bend, but general playability same as with plain G. Early electric guitars were designed with wound G strings in mind, so really you should be using them if you still have the original pickups or exact replacements.
