I prefer the Under Armour 9" original boxer jock. When I ride my commuter bike I never wear cycling shorts with a chamois. I think the Brooks leather saddle helps a lot with the comfort.

Exofficio Men's Give-N-Go Sport Six-Inch Boxer Brief

Yeah they're expensive at $23/pair. They're worth it. (Fine to be fair I don't know what your financial situation is, but if you bought any bike specific clothing which you don't technically need then yes they're worth it).
They don't ride up your thigh - at least they don't on me and I have large thighs.
They last practically forever. They're way more cost efficient than previous brands which cost half as much but wore out in a year or two.
They're incredibly good at preventing chafing. I've been walking places that were a short drive to get exercise, the other day 100 feet out I realized I had put on an older pair of underwear that was chafing (wearing jeans), I turned around walked back home switched underwear and the issue went away.
They're just fantastic underwear. Only odd issue is I needed to order a size up for a good fit. And the waist band isn't 100% perfect - ever since I started working out my waist got bigger and it's fine, but I wish it was a little looser (I haven't found any pairs that are better though).
I highly recommend them. Any concerns about cost should be weighed against that they last at least twice as long as most other underwear I've owned.

another vote for 9in inseam Ex Officio ~ they will ride up a bit.
I like my looser REI boxer-briefs as well. the looser-ness helps prevent them riding up.
- this is one of the more useful threads i've seen in a while.
