My favorite is Handlebra leather bar tape. Real leather. Grippy. Comfortable. Bullet-proof. Reusable.<br />
<br />
The only downsides are cost (see reusable so cost is OK in the long run) and the need to waterproof/treat it regularly.

I have this tape (Specialized Bar Phat) and it is great. Absorbs a lof of the pounding, lasts a long time and is super compfy. It's especially nice if you like to ride w/out gloves.

I have used Specialized's Bar Phat this year on the road and it's beautifully comfortable.<br />
I am either going to use this or double wrap with the cheap Bonty tape.

I'm partial to Stella Azzura Tecno-Spugna medium-density tape designed for cobbles and poorly-paved surfaces. It's comfortable, relatively inexpensive, comes in a wide selection of colors, is made in Italy, is easy to clean, and is pretty strong. I've used it for several years and have been happier with it than I have been with other manufacturers' bar tapes. I am going to try the regular-density tape for my 'A' bike this season - only because I'm trying to cut the weight down on that bike;…

I am going to try the regular-density tape for my 'A' bike this season - only because I'm trying to cut the weight down on that bike; however, I'm sticking with the medium-density tape for my training/'B' bike.<br />
