Good Riding Shorts Search

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I'm wanting to buy a good pair of cycling shorts for long distance riding. I've got a couple cheaper pairs that have pretty plain chamois in them but even though I use Butt Butter and ride on a Brooks saddle after about 60+ miles I'm getting kind of sore. I try to move around and get off the saddle as much as possible and that helps some. Is there a better pair of shorts that you all can recommend that won't break my bank yet still be comfortable on rides closer to the century mark? Do I need a short with more padding in the pad or maybe a gel type pad? Also is there a chamois lub substitute that can be bought locally (Walmart) that would work as well yet cheaper than buying the more expensive ones at bike shops? Thanks for any suggestions.
