My usual bar tape is 2 mm thick with minimal cushioning, and I like long fingered gloves with little or no padding. I am susceptible to numbness in my hands/fingers. I have spinal and shoulder issues that are just things to deal with. Gloves that are too tight and/or have more than minimum padding make the numbness/tingling happen quicker and more severe. Summer gloves are good it they are tight, but quite stretchy and allow moisture exchange. I change position on the bike quite a bit, and I stop more often, even if just for a moment or two. For me, those short moments add up to a more comfortable, enjoyable ride.
Finding gloves that I like, at a price I am willing to pay, Is easy, I buy from various etail and retail sources. IME, even cheap ones have good durability.
