All down to personal preference.

I used to adore the Flite Titanium, but now a big fan of the SDG Bel Air Range

Try a few out

I agree, Flite Titanium.
They take a little getting used to, but after a week or so it'll feel soooooooo comfy.

A Brooks saddle might take fifty to a hundred miles to break in but once it fits it fits like a glove.

Flites are great once youve trained your bum, Ive got an old flite alpes which is still going strong after about 10 years or so.

Fizik Arione.

But the trouble with this advice, like most of that in this thread, is that unless your butt has similar geometry to that of the adviser, you will not be happy.

That said, in my "chain gang" there are at least three of us, of different sizes and shapes on Ariones and all very pleased with it.

I use these on both my bikes. Tough coating on the outside, important on a mountain bike. Relatively heap. Nice and slim, with enough give. Comfy, fits my arse well.
And it comes in Camo.
