I just use chain wax, chain cleats and saddle. If there is more friction at the saddle than your bibs the bibs will pull and wear the skin. Bibs last longer as well. If your riding in an upright position this is not going to help much but if you race or ride for performance (at least get to the hoods) you will most likely change saddle position freely and frequently.
