Lizard Skins DSP 2.5 mm bar tape: $38 at my LBS and I wondered if this was a foolish purchase. Well, extravagant, perhaps, but not foolish. It is better than any other bar tape I've used, not that I am an expert by any means. Thick enough to provide more comfort than most other tapes, but not so thick as to feel mushy. "Tacky" and textured -- your grip feels secure. Long -- no problem wrapping a normal bar (tho' 48 cm Noodles -- I dunno). It has a small diamond pattern that feels good and, as for looks, I think it looks rather nice: I got the bright red.
Did it fix the numbness/pain problem with the always problematical outside pad on my left palm? No, but it seems to have mitigated it slightly compared to other, cheaper and less padded bar tape. I don't wear gloves, so I am somewhat particular about my bar tape. Next up: Spec Body Geometry shoe inserts. -- "When in Rome, do as they done in Milledgeville."
