TT-tri specific saddles: what makes yours great?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

TT-tri specific saddles: what makes yours great?

I'm preparing to test saddles on my TT bike and wondered which saddles get the highest marks from TT/tri riders, and why.

If you use Cobb saddles, which model do you prefer and why?

If you use another saddle, what makes it great for TT/tri use?

I'm a lighter rider and typically have no problems with my saddle while doing normal road riding (I ride a Selle Italia Flite). I want to be sure I've got a comfortable TT saddle, considering I'll be riding closer to the nose.

Thanks

I just picked up an Adamo Race saddle off Ebay for a TT build I am doing. Have read good things about how they are designed for a taint-friendly TT experience.
