I prefer Fizik for all of the reasons above. I also like leather, which can be purchased for $25 if you watch for the Nashbar tape on sale.
I generally put Fizik on just about all of my bicycles as well.
They even make a great brown Fizik for the Euro market that has worked well on the Hollands.
Certain bicycles call for variations though, and I am hankering to try Handlebra.
