Outdoor patio help: string lights

Need me about 75 ft of some good reliable string lights to run from one corner of outdoor kitchen roof, go around a tree, then make a 90 degree turn back to the corner of the roof of the house
Would love not to have to hang guide wires with them but recognize I'll probably have to
Any suggestions?
Right now Lowes has 48 foot of Cascadia brand for $65 and that's what I'm leaning towards but am very open to suggestions
They also have 24ft Portfolio brand for $60 which will be more work hooking them all together but are LEDs so may be worth it
Im not worried much about price I just want to put up some good reliable lights
TIA

String Lights on Amazon
I used 2.5 strands of these last year over a patio and they turned out great. They had to go long distances, so I strung them over wire, but I think they would have been fine without it.

Thanks 
I had forgotten that I have like $400 store credit to Lowe's (don't ask) so I really should've have asked how reliable the particular brands they carry are but I went by tonight and picked me up the LEDs which had all good reviews
Will have to see how it works out

How do you have $400 in store credit?

Make your own; find the lights you like and run the wiring yourself. You'll get exactly what you want with a custom fit.

if you plan on leaving them up for any period of time, get the commercial grade lights. A lot of times you have to buy the strand and bulbs separate and the cost for 75' strand will probably be around $150-200 plus bulbs.

The first question I have is:What are the guidelines in your trailer park?

WELL it's a somewhat boring story but my dad bought $800 worth of Harbor Breeze (Lowe's brand) remote controlled outdoor fans for our outdoor kitchen and we put them up blah blah
Bout a year later the frickers pretty much just quit working completely. Also in the meantime my dad got suddenly diagnosed with cancer and passed away (I appreciate thoughts and such but please don't make this the focus of this post) so now the fans are my problem so i go online looking for potential ways to fix the things and turns out these particular fans are pretty much the biggest pieces of shite on the market
So I call lowes and find out there is a warranty that they are eligible for but since they are the biggest pieces of shite on the market i of course was not interested in an exchange therefore they gave me their value in store credit (bout $800) and I bought me some nice, decent fans from somewhere else
Hope that all makes sense
