Not an expert but my observation - if you sit upright on your bike and pedal slowly (a cadence less than 50), a wide saddle will work. If and when you feel more comfortable to ride lending over, in the drops and your peddle stroke increases, that wide saddle will tear you up. Just imagine constantly rubbing the inside of your legs against the saddle... that said, there are comfortable skinny saddles and ones that are like razors. Alot of skinny saddles come with cut outs which helps eliminate sitz bone pain etc. As big as I am I like a skinny saddle, just alot less to chaff between my legs.
