I will need my seat all the way, or most of the way forward, and at around 200 pounds, I don't want the seat to bend, so that is important.

I will be measuring my sitbones. Is it true that you measure the middle of the sitbones, then add 25-30mm to find your optimum saddle width?
IMHO- saddle comfort is a component of bike fit. On the surface of limited info provided, the bike fit may not be optimal. Not sure what the OP is asking ?
