Saddles are very personal, and what works for one person may not work for another. I myself am using a Brooks B17 on my hybrid and a fizik Arione on my road bike, but I would never recommend them to you because every butt is different.

As others have already mentioned, start with some cycling shorts that have a chamois. You can get some that have baggy shells. More padding does not necessarily equal more comfort. Often times it can be the opposite.
