You're not going to like hearing this but I think it's hunt and peck. A bike saddle that one person thinks is wonderful might feel like a picked fence to the next guy. My personal favorite for conventional bikes are Brooks seats. They're expensive, but they solved for me the issue of "numb manhood". Your mileage may be different.
FWIW, I only said "hurt and peck" because you're over 70. I'm not sure younger folks even know what that means.
