I like my Pearl Izumi Gel Vent Pros.

Specialized Body Geometry gloves work very well for folks who have problems with finger numbness due to pressure on the heel of the hand. Several of my riding companions like them very well. Not too may LBS's stock them but they can be ordered directly from Specialized.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Cinelli cork tape has the right amount of cushion to suit me as does the cheaper cork tape from Nashbar.
