If they have a string, they are probably targeted for triathletes, not roadies.
As other have mentioned, you'll inevitably sort out the brands and models that suit you best. For what it's worth, I have always found Garneau and Sugoi to provide good value for money and I've been happy with the fit. Although Giordana and POC make nice bibs, they are too slim fitting for me -- my legs are somewhat more on the muscley side of the scale.
I always hunt sales and check what's available at Steep and Cheap:

Do their other products lack this knot of sorts? If so I'd be willing to give them a try because the chamois and overall fit is quite good.
