Aside from the Brooks that I use, I also have a cheap rebranded Velo trekking saddle that I bought about 4 years ago for about $10. I found myself even riding it for up to 30 miles in normal pants or shorts and boxers without any trouble. On that heavy city bike, I have the flat handlebars about 1" or so above the saddle and the saddle is very flat front-to-back. Although it has a cutout, I like that it's relatively flat across the sitbones, and it's narrow enough forward of that position that my legs move freely without rubbing the sides of the saddle. Sometimes with saddles that are more rounded near the sitbones, I find that it feels like saddle almost spreads them apart, which very quickly leads to pain for me. It also doesn't hurt that it's cheap and I'm less worried about a surprise rain storm than with my nicer saddles.
