I'm currently using a Brooks B-17 Select which I've been touring with on and off for about 4 years now. My typical tours run about 6 - 8 weeks. I think it's a good saddle which I can ride on all day comfortably. I also tried a Selle Anatomica and found it to be quite comfortable right out of the box as advertised but it's longevity was really poor. The leather stretched so much that I had to contact the company for a replacement leather top in less than a year. They replaced the leather cover under warranty but that began to stretch very quickly so I sold the saddle. You definitely have to break in the Brooks as well as breaking in your butt in order to ride comfortably.
