I know all types of cellos take different rosin on their strings, but I was wondering if there is any generally good cello rosin that works on most types of strings. Help?

I don`t know, all rozin always seemed pretty much the same to me. Personally it`s the strings that make my cello sound bad,(from being old and worn). Not to mention that even if a string looks good from the outside, it might be damaged from the inside (from streching and tearing).

I prefer those with a more complex metal composite like Liebenzeller.

Gustafe Burnadel is the best rosin. The rosin DOES make a difference, if you have good equiptment, and can use it properly. I know on some of my cheaper cellos, it didn`t really make a difference. But on a very good instrument, it does.

I normally use hindersine, which is a relatively cheap but effective rosin. Though, recently I picked up some pirastro rosin (black box) while in Czech Republic and Im really liking it. The grip is far superior to the hindersine without being overly sticky. I get better bow control and a richer sound with it.
I would definetly say that rosin effects the sound of the instrument. I didn`t really believe that before, but I most certainly do now!
