Ass-o-meters are hard to come by, so it's hard to predict what saddle you will like. If your friend recommends one in particular, the recommendation is valuable only if your asses have the same internal shape. Are you going to check?
The only way I know of to find a saddle that's good for you is to try many saddles. It's time consuming. It can be expensive but needn't be, because you can sell some of the saddles for an effectively low rental rate.
