I've been using Fizik tape, which feels ok when it's wet. It's wet a lot in Seattle. They have one kind that comes with gel inserts, which go between the bars and the tape. Expensive, but it seems to help a little - I would recommend something cheaper, though, unless you're planning to do some centuries when you're not commuting.
Yeah, I'll install them myself. I use gel padded gloves already so I don't need any more gel.
