A good pair of shorts and saddle does the trick for me.
I suspect you would have a different experience in a more humid part of the country. Good shorts and a good, properly set-up saddle will go a long way toward minimizing abrasion, but on a 90 mile ride on a 90 degree (f) day with 90% humidity, when you go through a water bottle every 6 to 8 miles, there is just too much salty sweat flowing through your shorts for even the best chamois to handle.
Man, I can't wait for summer!
