There's some variety of Fizik that I like on my Mercian. Its kinda thin, grippy, seems to be pretty tough. I got a good deal a few years back on some brown and tan Brooks leather, and it's a great wrap, perhaps my favorite. The current wraps on my Pro and my wife's Lotus is the Brooks faux-leather in black (have to keep those "colourways" aligned!) It's a touch thicker that I'd like but not enough to bother me. I'm not too interested in returning to cotton, I used to just shred the stuff and I like the padding of newer wraps.
