What he said. I'm relatively new at all this, but I seriously don't see how people ride long distances without a leather saddle. I have Brooks on two of my bikes and Selle Anatomica on the other two and like them both. Personally, I think the Brooks Flyer is the perfect hybrid saddle, but the B17 is the same thing without the springs.
