I used to go through a pair of gloves a season every year until about 5 years ago. Then I realized what the problem was. The sweat from my hands was what was destroying the gloves so quickly. So, every other ride, or after a particularly hot ride, I rinse the gloves and wash them with a mild dish detergent, then hang them to dry. It seems to extend the life of cycling gloves by about a year or two.
Though I have used many different brands over the years, I settled on the Giro Bravo. Nothing fancy, but just the right amount of padding for me, and hits my hands in mostly the right places.
