    depend if you have a good experienced stringing person. I just strung an AT900-p at 30x33lb the other day. In an inexperienced stringer, any tension higher than recommended tension is not safe.
    For warranty purpose, 25 lb is about the highest safe tension in case you need a replacement.

    Did you use your DW or an electronic machine?

    Yes it can be strung at 26lb. As silentheart mentioned, it all depends on the experience of the stringer. But to get it to 26lb shouldn't be much of a problem, even for a stringer whos been stringing for lets say 6-months to 1 year.
    Whereas if you wanted 30-33lb you would need a well experienced stringer or you should kiss your racket goodbye before giving it :D

    i string my at900p at anywhere from 27-30lbs so yes you can string higher than 26lbs....i heard that yonex put low recommended string tension just for waranty...i have strung mine rackets at those tensions and they are fine but depends how confident and good at stringing you are

    If up to me, I will use BG85. If only 2 choice you mentioned, I will go with NBG98.

    I am using an AT900P and an ARC10 both with BG85 now at 22x24. Feel like it's going to last forever. LOL. Seems like wasting money to look for different level of play.
