My preference is for the classic look of crochet-back gloves, but I also like some gel padding. The only ones available now to my knowledge are Spenco Classics, and the two pairs I recently obtained both ripped a seam along the thumb by the third ride. Emailed them with feedback and never heard back. Quite disappointed in this total junk.
I then bought some Planet Bike classic gloves. Not gel padded, but a comfortable amount of traditional padding. Very reasonably priced. Still looking for my perfect pair, but these will do fine until then.
In the low 50° range, I put some full fingered silk liners under them.
