Brooks Team Professionals were always my favorite Brooks. The B17 was OK, but the Standards usually were a little too flexy---the Champions were better. Over the past few years I've switched over almost entirely to Specialized Toupe and Romin saddles, mostly in the 155mm width. They're very flat across the back, like a Brooks, and just as supportive as a Team Pro, without the metal frame on the rear to bother me when I slide back on the saddle. Definitely more comfortable for me on longer rides, and riding trails and fixed gear.

I keep a couple Brooks around for my mostly period-correct bikes. I'm mostly a C&V back-slider (or front-slider?) these days, more in love with C&V frames than C&V components.
