for white tape, fizik is the only stuff i'll use, because of how durable it is, and how grime doesnt really stick to it like the cork styled tapes.

i really dont like any padding at all on my bar tape, but one of the guys i ride with regularly has double tape on his cross bike, which he swears by, cheap cork tape, with the fizik stuff over it, seems to work well for him and be the fizik feel with a little padding to it. something to consider...
