For the most part I'm happy with basic cork tape. I have the lizard Skin DSP tape in I think 2.5mil thickness on my cross bike and mostly I like it for the extra grip it offers. The Zipp CX tape has a similar grip but that's for a bike I'm riding in rain, snow, and mud over bumpy rutted fields and trails. For my gravel and road bike I don't really find grip to be a problem and cork gets the job done at a reasonable price. I'm also not good at keeping track of gloves so some tapes with really smooth finishes that don't absorb are a bit of a negative.
