I always used Velox cloth tape, still have some of the current Tressostar/Tressorex we have talked about in PMs. I remember that some of the Italian high end bikes I saw had the Benotto tape, in the very late 70s, and into the 80s and 90s. It looks neat, but I don't get along with plastic, slick bar wrap at all.

The plastic still is too slippery for my taste, even though I wear cycling gloves, if I get sweaty the bars just aren't feeling right under my palms and fingers. My 1974 Raleigh International, new in 1979, had a white plastic of unknown provenance, it didn't make it off the show room floor. Changed it out for Velox Tressostar right there in the LBS myself.

Up to you as to which you want to use, I'd have to go with SJX, Chombi and Salamandrine, pick between cloth and Benotto type, just be careful of some of the knock offs of Benotto.
