I find that the B17 or Flyer works well for me but only on bikes where I sit more upright or on bikes that I do not use the drops on drop bars.
When I use the drops I want a narrower saddle that is more rounded in back (less flat), I have a Brooks Conquest on most of my bikes and a Brooks Pro on two bikes. The Conquest is essentially a sprung Pro, the Conquest appears to no longer be made. Both the Pro and Conquest work well for me when I use the drops.
