Another fan of very little padding. But far more important, the shorts, as a whole, have to work for you. No one here can do more than suggest names you could try on. What works for them might be far, far from what works for you.

Edit: a snug fit counts for a lot. Hence bibs being so popular. Another way to get the comfort (and keep the convenience of shorts) is to buy shorts and use clip-on suspenders. Yes you will be the only only one an a ride of any size. But your crotch will be just as happy and using the port-a-potty is far easier.
