FWIW, I just wrapped my 'new' PX10 bars with VO's comfy tape. I'm not sure it would be thick enough for you, but it's twice as thick as the old Velox stuff, and subjectively feels a lot softer and more comfortable. It is looks like cotton tape, because it is, though it doesn't go on quite as neatly as traditional cotton tape.
The Fizik tape might be best for you. I think I'll try it on my new Mercian this summer. BITD cotton tape or occasionally Benotto was enough for me, but now that I'm older, a bit of cush is appealing.
