Thank you.
I would HIGHLY recommend that you try out various saddles at your local bike shop. Everyones' sit-bones are different and a saddle that works great for one person might be a total nightmare for another person.
However, there's an exception to this.... full leather saddles (like Brooks and Selle Anatomica) will break-in to fit the rider's sit-bones for an exact fit, which leads to an extremely comfortable saddle for long trips!
The only things I don't like about Brooks and Selle Anatomica are price and weight.

Also... do you typically wear cycling pants with (gel or chamois) padded inserts?
