Lizard Skins DSP 3.2 for me, too. Utterly delightful texture to touch, and offering very positive engagement. Cleans up in snap with soapy water.

I thought Fizik was the best until I went with DSP. I can't imagine anything being better.

I really hate the feel of the Lizard Skins. I use Specialized Roubaix tape.

Love Bike Ribbon but the white gets super dirty quick so Fizik for white and Bike Ribbon Eleganza for black.

Actually not sure how Brooks tape is in rain. I know I didn't care for leather saddles on daily rain rides, then storing in damp garage overnight. They required too much care.

Since i wear gloves, does not matter much. That said, some thicker cork ribbon works well for me. Easton is what I replaced my last road bike with a few rides before I sold it. Liked it enough.
Will probably end up with Specialized Roubaix tape, I'm going to put their 2.5mm bar phat gel padding on my bar. My allez had it and it def made for a comfy ride!

Fizik tape is on the bike right now, when that wears out I will trade it out for DSP 3.2; if that sucks I will likely try specialized roubaix, and from there back to Fizik most likely.
